IP- US: Support for the impeachment inquiry into the US President Trump has reached 55%, a new Quinnipiac University poll found.

Iran Press/America: Support for the impeachment inquiry into the US President Donald Trump's dealings in Ukraine continues to grow, as does support for his removal from office, a Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday found. 

55% of registered voters said they approved of the inquiry, while 43% said they disapproved. A week ago, 51% of Americans said they approved and 45% disapproved. 

Currently, 48% support Trump's removal. That is two percentage points higher than last week and 11 points higher than on Sept. 25. 

Opinions on impeachment continue to divide sharply along party lines. Only 10% of Republican voters approve of the inquiry while 88% disapprove, and just 6% think Trump should be removed. By contrast, 93% of Democrats approve of the inquiry while 7% disapprove, and 86% think Trump should be removed. Among independents, 58% supported the inquiry and 37% opposed it. 

A CNN poll released Tuesday found 50% of Americans think Trump should be removed from office, up from September when support for his removal was at 47%.

Trump is accused of withholding military aid to Ukraine to pressure the country into investigating allegations related to former Vice President Joe Biden, a leading candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination.
