New Yahoo News/YouGov poll shows voters believe Bolton over Trump — and they want Bolton to testify by AndrewRomano
According to a new Yahoo News/YouGov poll, bombshell revelations from the upcoming book by former national security adviser John Bolton — which reportedly includes an account of President Trump insisting that military aid to Ukraine be withheld until officials there announced investigations into his political rivals — have moved public opinion further in favor of calling Bolton to testify in Trump’s ongoing impeachment trial.
The poll found that a clear majority of registered voters now want to hear Bolton’s testimony, up two percentage points from the previous Yahoo News/YouGov poll, which was conducted before the Bolton news broke. Only 29 percent of registered voters say they don’t want to hear from Bolton. Over the last week there was even more movement on the question of whether Bolton himself should testify, with a combined 35 percent of those who previously said “no” moving to “yes” or “not sure” . Meanwhile, only 17 percent of those who previously said “yes” moved to “no or “not sure” .
Among Republicans, the shift against calling Bolton himself has been nearly as pronounced. When asked last week whether they wanted to hear Bolton testify, 33 percent of Republicans said yes; 39 percent said no. This week, however, 53 percent of Republicans said they did not want to hear from Bolton while only 25 percent said they did want to hear from him — a net shift of more than 20 percentage points.
