Poll: Americans narrowly back Trump's impeachment, resignation
A plurality of Americans support the effort gaining steam in Congress to impeach President Donald Trump following last Wednesday’s deadly attack on the U.S. Capitol, according to a POLITICO/Morning Consult poll released Monday.
Roughly 48 percent of respondents agreed that Congress should begin impeachment proceedings to remove Trump from office, compared to 44 percent who disagreed. Another 8 percent of those surveyed did not express an opinion on the issue, and the poll had a margin of error of 2 percentage points.
A separate question, worded somewhat differently, found that majority of those polled — 53 percent — said they would approve of the House of Representatives voting to impeach Trump, compared to 40 percent who said they would not approve the idea. Support was nearly identical for the Senate convicting Trump in the event the House brought impeachment charges against the president.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has rapidly moved forward with impeaching Trump for the second time in his four years in office — a first in American presidential history — after securing majority support in the chamber. An article of impeachment was introduced Monday, setting up a vote in the coming days unless Trump resigns or is removed by members of his cabinet via the 25th Amendment of the Constitution — outcomes that appear unlikely to occur.
