NEW YORK - Support for Democratic presidential front-runner Joe Biden ticked higher following reports that President Donald Trump pressured his Ukraine counterpart to investigate Biden, while Americans overall are less supportive of impeaching Trump than they were months ago, according to a Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll released on Tuesday.
It also found that 37% of the American public thinks Trump should be impeached, down from 41% in a similar Reuters/Ipsos poll that ran earlier in September. This compares with 44% in a poll that ran in May, after the Trump administration released portions of the Mueller investigation on Russian meddling in the 2016 election.
Democrats have decried the call as an attempt by Trump to smear his top political rival, and the uproar has given Biden’s campaign a chance to portray it as evidence that the president see him as the most dangerous opponent among the 19 candidates seeking the party’s nomination to take on Trump in the November 2020 election.
There has been no evidence to suggest so far that Biden used his position as vice president to help his son’s business in Ukraine, and he has said they never discussed the matter.
