The more people know about the Ukraine scandal engulfing President Donald Trump, the more they strongly support impeachment, according to a new Insider poll. 

This suggests that if this story continues to dominate headlines, it could be disastrous for Trump. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi indicated public sentiment was a big part of the reason she launched an impeachment inquiry into the president in the first place, and if it continues to shift against Trump that bolsters her case and the potential for a vote on impeachment.
