A new Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday shows a majority of Americans do not think President Donald Trump should be impeached and removed from office.

Only 37% of respondents think the president should be impeached and removed, while 57% do not.

In a clear partisan divide, 4% of Republicans and 73% of Democrats surveyed support impeachment. Those who responded against impeachment include 95% of Republicans surveyed and 21% of Democrats.

The poll was conducted between Sept. 19 and 23, just as Trump was in the thick of a controversy after news of a whistleblower complaint from within the intelligence community surfaced about a phone call with Ukraine's president asking for an investigation into former Vice President Joe Biden, a 2020 candidate.

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., announced Tuesday that Democrats will launch an official impeachment inquiry into the president after mounting pressure from within the caucus.

Trump has denied that he broke the law in his conversation with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky. He says the Democrats are engaged in a "witch hunt" and are pursuing the issue because they will not win the 2020 presidential election.

On Wednesday the White House made public a transcript of his July phone call that shows he asked Zelensky to look into Biden and his son.

Democrats had been attempting to look into various potential instances of wrongdoing, including the obstruction of justice with regard to Russia and efforts to enrich Trump's personal businesses.

The American public, though, appears to be more hesitant than House Democrats on impeachment.

The Quinnipiac survey shows not much change in public opinion from last month, when a Monmouth poll also showed that 59% of respondents were opposed to impeachment and removal from office.
