MILWAUKEE, WI — Voters in Wisconsin say they don't want President Donald Trump to be impeached and removed from office, but said they want Congress to at least follow through with the impeachment inquiry.

The views of Wisconsin's registered voters reflected the opinions of others in six battleground states, according to a new New York Times Upshot/Siena poll. The poll was conducted among registered voters in Arizona, Florida, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

Voters across six battleground states oppose impeaching and removing President Donald Trump from office by a margin of 52 to 44 percent.

Yet this same batch of registered voters say they supported congress looking into it. By 52-44 percent, voters across the six states support the impeachment inquiry being conducted by the House of Representatives.

“These six states – Arizona, Florida, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin – deserve the name battleground. Across the six states, 41 percent of all voters support both the inquiry, and impeaching and removing Trump from office, while 42 percent oppose both the House probe and impeaching and removing the President. The remaining 17 percent, including about 8 percent of all battleground voters that support the inquiry while currently opposing impeachment and removal, may ultimately decide the next election,” said Siena College Poll Director, Don Levy.
