The change is being driven by Democrats. Some 48% of Democrats said there is enough evidence to begin impeachment hearings now, up from 30% last month.

The Journal/NBC News survey also found Democratic voters adjusting their views of some of the party’s leading presidential candidates. Compared with March, more said they were enthusiastic or comfortable with Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, while slightly fewer said so of Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont or former Vice President Joe Biden.
