Were going to go to washington now where the impeachment showdown has entered a few phase. It was a Party Line Vote and our brand new poll reflects that divide, a country split down the middle. 49 in favor of removing President Trump, 47 opposed. The president s Approval Rating stable but low at 38 and one possible red flag for trump his job approval among republicans now at an alltime low of 74 down from an alltime high of 87 in july. One big question, what impact will this new public phase of the impeachment investigation have on Public Opinion after that house vote to set the rules for the inquiry. Our Senior National correspondent terry moran is on capitol hill. Terry, President Trump now the fourth president in American History to face this kind of inquiry. Reporter thats right, george. He joins andrew johnson, Richard Nixon and bill clinton and he doesnt like it. President trump has called impeachment a dirty, filthy, disgusting word, so this is a historic step but as you point out, its one that was taken almost entirely along partisan lines. With the bang of that gavel, the impeachment of President Trump has moved into a new phase. All but two House Democrats voting to formally approve the impeachment inquiry setting the stage and the rules for open hearings. When we move into open session, both parties will have an equal opportunity to question any witnesses that are called. Reporter for weeks, republicans demanded a full house vote on impeachment and they got it but afterwards they still cried foul calling the new process unfair. If the chair says they dont like the witness, the witnesses dont come forward. They allow the president to have Legal Counsel in the room unless the chair decides that they dont want the president s Legal Counsel in the room. Reporter overnight speaker of the house, nancy pelosi, defended the process. You would have thought that the republicans would all vote for it because it gave them more rights than we ever received in any of the other impeachment proceedings.

The president s republican allies vowing theyll keep defending him. Will you all go on the record and say that the president did nothing inappropriate . Very clear yes. Yes. Reporter so with this impeachment inquiry vote, it moves to a new phase. This is a new chapter but its pretty clear from that, george, politics in washington hasnt changed at this time. Boy, no question about that. You compare it to bill clintons impeachment 20 years ago, president clintons Approval Rating at the time was higher than President Trumps. The big question now what impact will these public hearings have . Reporter well, evidence will matter. Theres no question the polls do show that the public wants to hear more, but these are different times, hyper partisan times, and right now the battle lines are formed and they are solid and unmoving. Certainly seem to be. Okay, terry, thanks very much. Michael. Thank you, george. The president is also making headlines overnight with a surprise announcement saying hes moving.
