1) The polls have shown a favor in impeachment. The majority of Americans do not, but two-thirds of Democrats do.
2) You Gov and the Economist found that 52% of Americans said that it was inappropriate for the president to request a foreign government open an investigation into a potential political opponent. 26% of Americans said they weren't sure.
3) 62% of Americans said that it is inappropriate for the president to threaten withholding foreign aid to a country if it refuses to "take an action which personally benefits the President." 14% said it is appropriate, and 24% were not sure.
4) 54% of Americans thought Trump had attempted to derail the investigation into the Russian interference in the 2016 election, and 46% thought Trump had committed crimes while president. 29% said that Congress should begin the impeachment process.
5) The poll took place on September 19. It was a full day before The Wall Street Journal first broke the story of Trump's phone call with Zelensky, and only stayed in the field through Monday. This was a day before Nancy Pelosi announced the impeachment investigation.
6) The polls do not account for changes in public opinion following Pelosi’s announcement of an official impeachment inquiry, nor do they capture public reactions to the memo of the phone call between Trump and Zelensky that the White House released on Wednesday. And none of them factor in the testimony of Acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire before Congress on Thursday morning.
7) 32% of Americans are not paying attention to these developments.
8) Joe Biden has 20% of the votes, Bernie Sanders has 11%, Elizabeth Warren has 22% according to a Selzer poll. Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders are tied at around 25-27% according to the Monmouth University poll.
