Figure 2 shows that only 23 percent of Republicans surveyed thought Trump should be impeached if he personally engaged in a coverup of Russian ties. Likewise, only 34 percent thought Trump should be impeached if he collaborated with Russian agents himself. It is therefore unsurprising that only 8 percent of Republican believe Trump deserves to be impeached now. Republicans simply do not seem to be particularly troubled by the Russia probe.
Interestingly, Independents also do not appear to be overly concerned with the Russia investigation. Less than half of Independents (45 percent) believe that a cover up would warrant impeachment, and even explicit collusion would convince only 53 percent of Independents that Trump needed to be removed from office. Consequently, most Independents (59 percent) agree with the Republican consensus that the present allegations against Trump do not warrant impeachment.
GOP, Independent Voters Set High Bar for Impeachment
And that's assuming the ever elusive Russian collusion fantasy comes true.
