根据一项新的调查，大多数美国人赞成民主党领导的众议院最近宣布的对唐纳德·特朗普总统的弹劾调查，并表示这是一个“必要的”举措。
哥伦比亚广播公司新闻调查调查发现，55%的受访者赞成国会民主党人开始弹劾调查，35%的受访者表示强烈赞成，20%的受访者表示多少有些赞成。与此同时，45%的人不赞成这一举措，14%的人说他们有些不赞成，31%的人说他们强烈反对。

此外，55%的美国成年人认为对特朗普的调查是必要的，而45%的人认为没有必要。该调查在9月26日至27日期间采访了2059名美国成年人。误差幅度为2.3个百分点。
周末的民意调查显示，公众对弹劾程序的支持有所增加，因为特朗普面临着越来越多的审查。此前，一名举报者提交了一份长达9页的正式投诉(周四公布)，指控白宫掩盖了特朗普与乌克兰总统沃洛迪米尔·泽兰斯基(Volodymyr Zelensky月份的一次电话对话，在此期间，美国总统要求其外国同行调查前副总统乔·拜登的儿子亨特·拜登。
众议院议长南希·佩洛西(Nancy Pelosi)周二宣布，关于告密者担忧的早期报道引发了公众愤怒——并导致投诉和部分电话记录被公布，以及对特朗普的正式弹劾调查。白宫周三公布的对话摘要显示，总统的确请求乌克兰协助调查他的政治对手，甚至主动提出让自己政府的司法部长协助调查。

MAJORITY APPROVE OF TRUMP IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY AND SAY IT'S 'NECESSARY' AS SUPPORT FOR PROCEEDINGS GROW: POLL
A majority of Americans approved of the Democratic-led House's recently-announced impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump and said it was a "necessary" move, according to a new survey.
A CBS News poll, released on Sunday morning, found that 55 percent of respondents approved of congressional Democrats starting an impeachment inquiry, with 35 percent saying they strongly approve and 20 percent said they somewhat approve. Meanwhile, 45 percent disapproved of the move, with 14 percent saying they somewhat disapprove and 31 percent said they strongly disapprove.
From what they've heard so far about Trump's handling of Ukraine-related matters, 41 percent believed the president acted illegally; 31 percent felt he acted improperly but lawfully; and 28 percent said he acted properly.
In addition, 55 percent of American adults believed the inquiry into Trump was necessary, while 45 percent said it was unnecessary. The survey interviewed 2,059 U.S. adults between September 26 and 27. The margin of error was 2.3 percentage points.
The weekend poll showed a rise in public support for impeachment proceedings as Trump faces increased scrutiny after a whistleblower filed a formal nine-page complaint—released on Thursday—that accused the White House of covering up a phone conversation made between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in July, during which the U.S. president requested his foreign counterpart to probe former Vice President Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden.
Early reports about the whistleblower's concerns ignited public outrage — and resulted in the complaint and a partial transcript of the call being released, as well as a formal impeachment inquiry into Trump, announced by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Tuesday. The summary of the conversation, made public by the White House on Wednesday, revealed that the president did ask Ukraine for assistance in investigating his political opponent and had even offered his own administration's Attorney General to help in the probe.
The last impeachment survey, an NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll conducted by phone on Wednesday night and released on Thursday, showed that 49 percent of Americans approved of impeachment proceedings, while 49 percent disapproved and five percent said they were unsure. Despite the split, an overwhelming majority—three quarters—of respondents wanted the whistleblower to testify before Congress so the public could receive more information about the allegations against Trump.
Support for Trump's impeachment has yet to reach a majority. According to the CBS poll, 42 percent of respondents said the president deserves to be impeachment over the Ukraine scandal, while 36 percent said he doesn't deserve impeachment, and another 22 percent indicated that "it's too soon to say."
