Minnesota voters are divided on the question of impeaching President Trump and removing him from office a new Star Tribune Minnesota Poll found. The poll also discovered that “clear majorities believe that he lies and abuses his power.”

The paper reports:

The poll found that 48 percent of Minnesotans oppose impeachment while 47 percent support it. Because the difference is within the poll’s 3.5 percentage-point error margin, it amounts to a deadlock. Recent national polls have concluded that about 51 percent of Americans now back impeachment.

The poll also found President Trump trailing several leading Democratic candidates in Minnesota, including Senator Amy Klobuchar.

The poll included 800 registered voters.
