A majority of Americans want the Senate to hold a full impeachment trial, rather than “allowing voters to decide” the fate of President Donald Trump, according to a new LX/Morning Consult poll released Thursday morning. Younger Americans drove this result: No age groups were more in favor of a full trial than Generation Z and millennials.

The poll, conducted as House and Senate leaders tussle over what to do following the passage of two articles of impeachment, shows 55% of U.S. adults support a full trial of President Trump. Forty-five percent responded that they preferred to let voters decide the president's fate in the November election.

The poll didn’t specify what a full impeachment trial meant – that was left to the interpretation of the respondents. Right now, Senate and House lawmakers are debating whether the trial should allow testimony from witnesses and new evidence, or it should be based on the evidence and testimony already presented in House hearings and reports.

1. If it gets enough voters to turn against him by the election

then it's totally worth doing. I imagine that's Pelosi's plan.

2. All Americans are

5. Not whites. Look at the poll data. All but whites.

Which as a white person really disappoints and kind of infuriated me — to say that it’s frustrating is an understatement.

3. Another reason his Iran attack was a dumb idea: the young are going to pay attention to the election

4. The American people are now

Running from trump and the republicans as fast as they can, and its going to get much worse for them as a lot more gets exposed until the election, and its going to be enjoyed watching them every day trump does something stupid, criminal , or extreme, or more is exposed . The republicans deserve trump , and he will bring them down every day he's left in office.

6. I remind my GenZ (mostly) students to register to vote...

during almost every class, three times a week...

7. A lot of these kids came of age and remember the calm stable days of the Obama Presidency

They admired having an intelligent man as President and think MF45 is an idiot.

8. If all the young people who hate vote, he hasn't got a chance in Hell.

Well maybe in Hell.
