The poll showed that an overwhelming majority, or 66 percent, of the respondents believe it's not appropriate for Trump to ask foreign leaders to investigate his political rivals, and that 43 percent of them agree that what Trump said on the phone was an impeachable offence.
Trump tweeted last Friday that his request for an investigation into the Bidens is not a political campaign against them. "This does have to do with their corruption!"
In an earlier tweet, Trump claimed that he as president has an "obligation" to end corruption, "even if that means requesting the help of a foreign country or countries."
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the Democratic congresswoman who announced the initiation of the impeachment process, in a Tuesday statement accused the Trump administration of "brazen efforts to pressure foreign powers to intervene in the 2020 elections."
The Fox News poll showed that 42 percent of the respondents are in favor of Pelosi's opinion in the impeachment inquiry, compared to 43 percent who side with Trump.
Separately, a Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll released Tuesday showed 55 percent of the respondents think Congress should launch an impeachment investigation into Trump, 24 percent believe there is enough evidence justifying the president's impeachment and removal, and 31 percent say the decision should be contingent upon further proof to be found in the impeachment inquiry.
The poll was conducted with 800 adults between Oct. 4 and 6, with a margin of sampling error of plus and minus 3.46 percentage points.
