New Yorkers are divided along party lines when it comes to impeaching and removing President Donald Trump from office, a Siena College poll released Tuesday found.

Meanwhile, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren is gaining ground on former Vice President Joe Biden among Democratic voters, according to the poll.

The poll comes amid multiple crosscurrents in national politics as 12 Democrats in Ohio will appear in the next televised debate this evening and Trump faces an impeachment inquiry by Democratic lawmakers in the House of Representatives stemming from his efforts to have Ukraine investigate Biden and his son Hunter.

The poll found New Yorkers, in a heavily Democratic state, support impeaching and removing the president 55 percent to 38 percent. Democrats back the process by 79 percent; Republicans oppose it by 81 percent.

Independents are more closely divided, however: 49 percent oppose impeachment and removal, 47 percent do not.

The swirling and fast moving events around impeachment, with the former vice president’s son at the epicenter, comes as Warren has gained steady ground.

A Siena College poll last month found Biden leading Warren by 5 percentage points. The poll released Tuesday found them tied at 21 percentage points each. Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders draws 16 percent of support. All other candidates are in single digits among Democratic voters, the poll found.

Still, a plurality of Democratic voters, 30 percent, said Biden is the most likely candidate to defeat Trump.

Other findings in the poll:

  • Allowing undocumented immigrants to obtain a driver’s licenses has gained support among voters. It is now narrowly supported by 48 percent of voters and 47 percent view it unfavorably. It’s an increase from a 45 percent to 50 percent disapproval in September.
  • Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s favorable rating is at 49 percent favorable, 47 percent unfavorable, virtually no change from the previous month.
  • Providing college athletes with some form of compensation for the use of their name or image is supported 63 percent to 29 percent. A similar margin, 60 percent to 30 percent, back requiring colleges to take 15 percent of revenue from ticket sales and divide the revenue among student athletes.
  • Forty percent of New Yorkers polled say they spend half an hour watching one of the 24-hour cable channels. CNN is the most trusted at 35 percent, Fox News by 22 percent and MSNBC by 21 percent. One in seven do not trust the cable news channels.

The poll of 742 registered voters was conducted from Oct. 6 to Oct. 10. It has a margin of error of 4.3 percentage points.
