President Trump’s job approval rating has ticked up 6 percentage points
since the Democrats' impeachment inquiry began, according to a new survey.

The Gallup poll
<https://news.gallup.com/poll/271691/trump-approval-inches-support-impeachment-dips.aspx?utm_source=alert&utm_medium=email&utm_content=morelink&utm_campaign=syndication>
released early
Wednesday found Trump’s approval rating at 45 percent, up from 39
percent when the inquiry was launched in the fall. The new findings mark
the third-consecutive increase in Trump's approval rating, Gallup noted.

Trump’s growing approval is buoyed by Republicans who give him high
marks. Almost 9 in 10 GOP respondents — 89 percent — support
Trump, compared to just 8 percent of Democrats who approve of the job the
president is doing.

Trump has reached 45 percent approval or higher in Gallup’s poll five times
since taking office, the survey giant noted. He reached 46 percent only
once in his presidency: in May on the back of strong economic reports and
the culmination of former special counsel Robert Mueller
<https://thehill.com/people/robert-mueller>’s report on Russia's election
meddling.

Gallup’s new poll found that 51 percent of respondents say they oppose
impeachment and removing Trump from office, an increase of 5 percentage
points since the Speaker Nancy Pelosi
<https://thehill.com/people/nancy-pelosi> (D-Calif.) announced the
impeachment inquiry into the president's dealings with Ukraine. By
contrast, 46 percent of respondents now support impeachment and removal,
down 6 points.

Only 5 percent of Republicans who responded to the survey say they back
impeachment and removal, compared to 85 percent of Democrats.

Support for impeaching and removing the president has dipped slightly among
independents, Gallup found, from 55 percent and 53 percent in two October
polls to 48 percent in the latest survey.

The new poll of 1,025 American adults was conducted Dec. 2-15. The survey
has a margin of error of 4 percentage points.
