A Plurality of Texans Agree with Trump Impeachment

According to a new poll, 46% of Texan voters are okay with Trump getting booted out of office (pun intended).
The University of Texas conducted the poll along with The Texas Tribune. Voters were asked if they thought congressional impeachment investigations of President Trump were justified, with 46% saying yes and 42% saying no. The naysayers are strong in number, but in the famously red state of Texas, this plurality leaning towards impeachment is still shocking, and a (hopefully) good sign of things to come in 2020.
Unsurprisingly, Democrats and Republicans stayed true to their parties in the vote, paralleling the House vote on the resolution for proceedings last week. Like the sole independent lawmaker in the House, independent voters are more likely to lean in favor of investigating Trump.
