Democrats hope to put pressure on Republicans in districts that President Joe Biden won as their party debates whether to open an official impeachment inquiry ahead of the House’s return to Washington next week.
Polling in the 18 districts that backed Biden in 2020 and a House Republican in 2022 found 56 percent of voters thought that an impeachment inquiry would be more focused on damaging Biden politically versus 41 percent who thought it would be about finding the truth. The poll, by the Democratically aligned Public Policy Polling firm, surveyed 633 registered voters across the districts on Aug. 25 and 26 through telephone and text message surveys.
