白宫法律顾问凯莱恩·康威吹捧民调显示，独立选民对正在进行的弹劾调查不感兴趣，并评论说，他们目睹了“过去几年中最具党派色彩的活动”

在接受采访时沃特斯的世界周六，康威称弹劾调查是一场猜谜游戏，并表示它没有影响唐纳德·特朗普总统的支持基础。

康威在周六接受杰西·沃特斯采访时说:“不仅仅是基地不会离开他，还要看看独立候选人的情况。”。

“他们憎恶这种弹劾哑谜，民意测验显示...弹劾...在独立候选人中，民主党人的发展方向是错误的，为什么？因为独立人士这样称呼自己，因为他们不特别喜欢民主党或共和党。

“他们喜欢自以为独立和无党派，他们目睹了过去几年来针对这位总统的最具党派性的行动，”康威继续说道，接着他剖析了成为弹劾调查核心的乌克兰电话。

该电话是在告密者投诉总统在2020年大选前向乌克兰施压调查其政治对手后被曝光的。特朗普否认电话中涉及任何压力或交换条件，尽管对乌克兰的援助在谈话期间被搁置。

然而，《经济学人》/YouGov最近的一项民意调查该调查在12月7日至10日进行，调查了1500名登记选民，结果显示，独立选民并没有在弹劾调查中成群结队地支持特朗普，但他们的许多回应与共和党人的关系比与民主党人的关系更密切。

在回答这个问题时:如果事实证明唐纳德·特朗普故意停止对乌克兰的军事援助，以便让乌克兰总统调查对拜登家族的腐败指控，你认为这是一种可弹劾的罪行吗？39%的独立人士说这是一项可弹劾的罪行，相比之下，35%的人说不是，26%的人不确定。

相比之下，83%的民主党人和16%的共和党人认为这将构成可弹劾的罪行。

但就弹劾调查本身而言，康威暗示独立人士不支持调查是正确的——因为根据民意测验，他们对此不感兴趣。

事实上，48%的独立人士表示他们对调查根本不感兴趣，相比之下，18%的民主党人和47%的共和党人对调查不感兴趣。

只有20%的独立人士表示他们非常感兴趣，相比之下，19%的共和党人和48%的民主党人对弹劾调查非常感兴趣。

KELLYANNE CONWAY SAYS INDEPENDENT VOTERS 'ABHOR THIS IMPEACHMENT CHARADE'

White House counsel Kellyanne Conway has touted polls suggesting independent voters are not keen on the ongoing impeachment inquiry, commenting that they had witnessed "the most partisan exercise in the last several years."

Speaking in an interview with Watters' World on Saturday, Conway described the impeachment inquiry as a charade and said it hadn't affected President Donald Trump's support base.

"It's not just that the base won't leave him but look what's happened with independents," Conway said during a Saturday interview with Jesse Watters.

"They abhor this impeachment charade, the polls among... impeach... among independents have been going in the wrong direction for the Democrats and why? Because independents call themselves that because they don't particularly like Democrats or Republicans.

"They like to fancy themselves independent and non-partisan and they have witnessed the most partisan exercise in the last several years against this president," Conway continued, before going on to dissect the Ukraine phone call that has become central to the impeachment inquiry.

The phone call came to light following a whistleblower complaint that alleged the president had pressured Ukraine into investigate his political rivals ahead of the 2020 election. Trump denies there was any pressure or quid pro quo involved in the call, despite aid to Ukraine being withheld around the time of the conversation.

However, a recent poll from The Economist/YouGov, conducted between 7-10 December and surveying 1500 registered voters showed that independents were not backing Trump in droves over the impeachment inquiry, however many of their responses were more closely aligned with Republicans than with Democrats.

In response to the question: If it is proven that Donald Trump purposefully withheld military aid to Ukraine in order to get the President of Ukraine to investigate allegations of corruption against the Biden family, do you think that is an impeachable offense? 39 percent of independents said it was an impeachable offense, compared with 35 percent who said it was not and 26 percent who were unsure.

This is compared with 83 percent of Democrats and 16 percent of Republicans who believed this would constitute an impeachable offense.

But in terms of the impeachment inquiry itself, Conway was correct in suggesting that independents were not backing the probe—because, according to the poll, they were not interested in it.

Indeed, 48 percent of independents said they were not interested in the inquiry at all, compared with the 18 percent of Democrats and 47 percent of Republicans who are not interested in the inquiry.

Just 20 percent of independents said they were very interested, compared with the 19 percent of Republicans and the 48 percent of Democrats who were very interested in the impeachment inquiry.
