一项新的民意调查显示,70%的美国人认为唐纳德·特朗普总统要求对一名政治对手进行调查是错误的,这促使民意调查结果在周一成为推特上的热门话题。
这项民意测验由美国广播公司新闻和益普索被问及美国人是否认为特朗普对乌克兰总统沃洛迪米尔·泽兰斯基的要求是错误的。在被调查者中,51%的人认为特朗普是错的,应该被免职,而19%的人认为美国总统是错的,但应该保留他当选的职位。
特朗普和泽伦斯基之间的对话引发了对特朗普行为的持续弹劾调查。在对话中,美国总统要求乌克兰调查前副总统乔·拜登和拜登的儿子亨特。
美国广播公司新闻和益普索民意测验的调查于11月16日和17日在506名成年人中进行。美国广播公司新闻报道称,58%的受访者“非常或有点”密切关注弹劾听证会。

在推特上,许多用户对投票结果及其对弹劾和2020年总统选举的可能影响发表了意见。
约翰·哈伍德是CNBC的一名总编辑,他写道“真相大白了”和“这很重要”
瑞安·福尼尔(Ryan Fournier)与查理·柯克(Charlie Kirk)共同创立了特朗普学生组织(Students for Trump),他写道,想要弹劾总统的民主党人应该学会如何“弹劾7000万美国人”——显然指的是他认为仍对总统怀有真诚支持的美国人的数量。
“特朗普不是一个人,”福尼尔写道。“他是我们所有人!”
推特用户@Bashowicks写道,作为对民意调查的回应,70%认为总统做错了的美国人将“站在历史的正确一边”,而其他人则表示他们对“共和党腐败和外国控制我们的选举”没有意见
罗伯·莱纳,一位以导演闻名的电影人痛苦和公主新娘他引用了民意测验的结果,写道“[·洛佩兹的汗水正从特朗普和共和党流出”。他们令人绝望的混淆视听的企图是可悲的,也是行不通的。”
“70%是绝大多数,”用户@HawaiiDelilah写道。“不管参议院是否投票判他有罪并将其免职,唐纳德·特朗普将作为一名弱势候选人参加2020年的选举,绝大多数美国人都知道他要为自己的不当行为负责。”
“70%的美国人与其余似乎无知和/或偏执的人保持相当一致,”作家宽扎·奥萨耶佛在推特上写道。“令人失望的是,这部分人容易被宣传和阴谋欺骗,因为这动摇了他们脆弱的自尊心。”
其他一些用户,如@Tyler_Fay,指出只有506人接受了调查,他们认为这不可能准确反映整个美国的意见。
不管结果有多准确,user @ startlepup暗示投票最终对弹劾听证会的结果几乎没有影响,因为“100%的共和党[参议员不在乎70%的美国人怎么想。”
'70% OF AMERICANS' TRENDS AFTER POLL SHOWS OVERWHELMING MAJORITY BELIEVE TRUMP'S UKRAINE ACTIONS WERE WRONG
A new poll revealed that 70 percent of Americans believe President Donald Trump's request for an investigation into a political rival was wrong, prompting the poll results to become a trending topic on Twitter Monday.
The poll, released by ABC News and Ipsos, asked if Americans felt that Trump's request to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy was wrong. Of those polled, 51 percent felt that Trump was wrong and should be removed from office, while 19 percent said that the US president was wrong but should retain his elected position.
The conversation between Trump and Zelenskiy, where the US president asked that Ukraine investigate former Vice President Joe Biden, and Biden's son Hunter, sparked an ongoing impeachment investigation into Trump's actions.
The survey from ABC News and Ipsos Poll was conducted on November 16 and 17, among 506 adults. ABC News reported that 58 percent of respondents were following the impeachment hearings "very or somewhat" closely.
US President Donald Trump waves after delivering remarks in the Roosevelt Room at the White House on November 15, 2019 in Washington, DC.
On Twitter, a number of users gave their two cents about the poll's results and their possible implications for impeachment and the 2020 presidential election.
John Harwood, a journalist who is an editor-at-large for CNBC, wrote that "the truth is being made plain" and "it matters."
Ryan Fournier, who, along with Charlie Kirk, co-founded the organization Students for Trump, wrote that the Democrats who want to impeach the president should learn how "to impeach 70,000,000 Americans"—evidently referring to the number of Americans he believes still harbor earnest support for the president.
"Trump is not one man," Fournier wrote. "He is all of us!"
In response to the poll, Twitter user @Bashowicks wrote that the 70 percent of Americans who thought that what the president did was wrong would be "on the right side of history," while the rest revealed themselves to be fine with "GOP corruption and a foreign country controlling our elections."
Rob Reiner, a filmmaker known for directing Misery and The Princess Bride, referenced the poll's results and wrote that "[f]lop sweat is pouring out of Trump and the GOP. Their desperate attempts at obfuscation is pathetic and not working."
"70% is a super-majority," wrote user @HawaiiDelilah. "No matter whether or not the Senate votes to convict and he is removed, Donald Trump will be going into the 2020 election as a weak candidate, with the vast majority of Americans knowing he is responsible for wrongdoing."
"70% of Americans has been pretty consistent against the remainder who seem to be stalwarts in their ignorance and/or bigotry," tweeted author Kwanza Osajyefo. "It's disappointing how gullible that segment is to propaganda and conspiracy juse because it fluffs their fragile egos."
Some other users, like @Tyler_Fay, noted that just 506 people were surveyed for the poll, which they believed could not possibly accurately reflect the opinions of the United States as a whole.
However accurate the results, user @startlepup implied that the poll would ultimately have little bearing on the outcome of the impeachment hearings, because "100% of Repub[l]ican senators do not care what 70% of Americans think."
