The recent congressional testimony of Michael Cohen, the president s former lawyer, has not moved the needle all that much mainly because few people learned anything new, but it seems to have given rise to some doubts for Trump defenders. The public is divided as to Cohen s honesty, but most believe his claim that the president reimbursed him for hush money payments. The poll also finds that neither political party s House membership came off particularly well in last week s hearing, but the public still wants oversight of the president to be a priority for Congress. Trump s overall job rating stands at approve and disapprove. This is virtually unchanged from his 4-5 standing in late January and his - rating in vember. The president s job rating among different partisan groups stands at 8 approve and disapprove among ublicans, 4- among independents, and -8 among ocrats. The poll finds that 4 of Americans feel that Trump should be impeached and compelled to leave the presidency while 5 disagree. Support for impeachment of Trump has risen slightly since vember, when favored impeachment and 5 did not. Previous polls showed support for Trump s impeachment ranging between 3 and 4. The change since last fall has come largely from political independents. Currently, 40% of independents support impeachment and 5 are opposed. Four months ago, only 2 of independents supported impeachment and 6 were opposed. Partisan opinion on impeachment currently stands at 7 support to 1 oppose among ocrats and to 9 among ublicans. The president s job approval rating hasn t budged all that much as both sides of the partisan divide continue to dig in. But the fact that more independents are starting to question Trump s fitness for 1

Monmouth University Polling Institute 03/06/19 office could be a sign of trouble, if not for impeachment itself than for his re-election prospects in 2020, said Patrick Murray, director of the independent Monmouth University Polling Institute. [te: Monmouth uses the same impeachment question that Gallup asked about Richard Nixon as Watergate unfolded. Support for Nixon s removal started out at 1 on this question in June 1973 and reached 3 in vember 1973 after the special Watergate prosecutor was fired in what became known as the Saturday Night Massacre. ] In general, just under half of the public () believe that Trump has personally asked people to mislead government investigators or Congress, while believe he has not done this. These results are similar to January, when said Trump had directed people to lie on his behalf and 4 said he had not done this. The number of Americans who are unsure if Trump did this has risen from to 1. Regardless of whether he personally ordered any cover up, 5 of the public say that Trump was aware that people associated with his campaign misled investigators, which is down slightly from 6 who said the same in January. At the same time, the number who state Trump was not aware of these efforts has declined somewhat more from 3 to 2 while the number who say they are unsure if Trump was aware has increased from to 1. There doesn t seem to be much in the Cohen testimony that raised new questions for the vast majority of Americans. But this small shift toward expressing no opinion could indicate a crack as doubts emerge among some Trump defenders. It could also revert back to support for the president as future news cycles turn our attention elsewhere, said Murray. Only 3-in-10 Americans (2) think that any new information could come out about Trump that would significantly change public views of him, while 2-in-3 (6) feel that people are set in their opinions regardless of what new information may come out. In line with this, few Americans (2) feel they learned anything new from Michael Cohen s public appearance before a congressional committee last week. Another say it was all information we had before, while the remainder are unsure if anything new was uncovered () or say they did not follow news about the hearing (1). Public opinion is divided on how honest Cohen was before Congress, with just under 4-in-10 saying he was completely (1) or mostly (2) honest and 4-in-10 saying he was just partly (2) or not at all (1) honest. Still, most Americans (5) believe Cohen s claim that Trump reimbursed him for hush money payments to hide an affair. Only 1 of the public say Trump did not do this, with the remainder being unsure (1) or not having followed the hearing (1). Among those who say they heard a lot about Cohen s testimony representing nearly half of the American public 6 believe Trump reimbursed Cohen. The hearing put a spotlight on Congress as much as it did on Cohen. Neither party s representatives performed all that well in the court of public opinion, although the ocrats fared 2

Monmouth University Polling Institute 03/06/19 slightly better than the ublicans. Nearly half of the public (4) feel that ocratic members of the House committee were more interested in undermining Trump, while 3 say they were more interested in uncovering the truth. On the other side of the aisle, say that ublicans on the House committee were more interested in defending Trump, while only 2 say they were more interested in uncovering the truth. Among those who have heard a lot about the Cohen hearings, say the ocrats were more interested in uncovering the truth, while only 2 say the same about the ublicans. A majority of Americans (5) say that keeping President Trump in check should be a major priority for Congress. Another say this should be a minor priority and 2 say this should not be a priority at all. These results are nearly identical to when Monmouth asked this question about the newly elected Congress in vember 5 major priority, minor priority, and 2 not a priority. Currently, 8 of ocrats (up from 7 in vember) and 5 of independents (up from 4) say that Congress being a check on the president should be a major priority, while only 1 of ublicans agree (down from 2). There is a performance art element to these public hearings that the public reacts against. Still, most people feel congressional oversight is a necessary check on the president. We ll see if they continue to feel this way as the House investigation widens, said Murray. A majority of the public (5) say that the special counsel investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election and possible links with the Trump campaign should continue, while say it should wrap up. Opinion in January on the Mueller probe stood at continue and 4 end. Support for continuing the probe has ranged between and 5 since April 2018, although it was higher in 2018 () and July 2017 (6). The Monmouth University Poll also finds that 2 of Americans approve of the job Congress is doing and 6 disapprove. These results are in the range of polls taken just after s took control of the House in January (1 approve - 7 disapprove) and just after the midterm elections in vember (2-6). The poll also finds that just 2 say the country is headed in the right direction, while 6 say things have gotten off on the wrong track. This view is more negative than Monmouth s last reading in vember (3-5), marking the first time in more than a year that the right direction number has dipped below 3-in-10. It stood at 2 right direction and 6 wrong track in December 2017. The Monmouth University Poll was conducted by telephone from 1 to 4, with 802 adults in the United States. The question results in this release have a margin of error of +/- 3.5 percentage points. The poll was conducted by the Monmouth University Polling Institute in West Long Branch, NJ. 3

Monmouth University Polling Institute 03/06/19 [Q25-36 held for future release.] METHODOLOGY The Monmouth University Poll was sponsored and conducted by the Monmouth University Polling Institute from 1 to 4, with a national random sample of 802 adults age 18 and older, in English. This includes 322 contacted by a live interviewer on a landline telephone and 480 contacted by a live interviewer on a cell phone. Telephone numbers were selected through random digit dialing and landline respondents were selected with a modified Troldahl-Carter youngest adult household screen. Monmouth is responsible for all aspects of the survey design, data weighting and analysis. Final sample is weighted for region, age, education, gender and race based on US Census information. Data collection support provided by Braun Research (field) and SSI (RDD sample). For results based on this sample, one can say with 9 confidence that the error attributable to sampling has a maximum margin of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points (unadjusted for sample design). Sampling error can be larger for sub-groups (see table below). In addition to sampling error, one should bear in mind that question wording and practical difficulties in conducting surveys can introduce error or bias into the findings of opinion polls.
