WaPo/ABC poll: Majority opposes impeachment, has little to no confidence in Mueller’s fairness

In other words, welcome to 1998. A new poll from the Washington Post and ABC shows that Americans still aren’t sold on impeaching of Donald Trump. Voters approve of investigations by Congress into the 2016 election and the White House, but strong skepticism exists that the House can do so without overreaching.
Whatever you do, don’t tell Tom Steyer:
The American people have mixed feelings about investigating President Trump, with clear majorities wanting newly empowered Democrats to dig into his personal finances and foreign ties but most believing that Congress should not begin impeachment proceedings, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll. …
Six in 10 adults support the party using its congressional authority to obtain and release Trump’s tax returns, the survey shows. Similar majorities support Democrats investigating suspected financial ties between Trump and foreign governments, the president’s relationship and communications with Russian President Vladimir Putin, as well as possible collusion in the 2016 campaign.
And yet a 46 percent plurality suspect Democrats will “go too far†in their inquiries of Trump, while just over one-third think they will handle it about right.
