A new poll has found that American adults are evenly divided over whether or not President Trump should be impeached.
A new poll has found that American adults are evenly divided over whether or not President Trump should be impeached and removed from the presidency.
In the USA Today/iMediaEthics online survey of more than 1,300 American adults, 42 percent agreed with the action and 42 percent did not.
Meanwhile, respondents’ feelings about a possible impeachment were also split down the middle, with 34 percent indicating they would be upset over such proceedings and the same number expressing upset if the impeachment didn’t happen.
A USA Today report about the findings states, “While no serious effort is now underway in Congress to impeach Trump, the results underscore how quickly political passions have become inflamed both for and against the outsider candidate…”
In fact, based on the results, iMediaEthics calls him “probably the most beleaguered first-term president in the country’s history, and certainly in modern history...”
According to the organization, “a clear majority (57%) believe it is likely Trump will finish his first term in office, although only 27% are confident he will – including 54% of Republicans, just 21% of independents and 7% of Democrats. About a third of the public (36%) believes Trump will not last through his first term.”
While no reasons were given, Trump has been under fire over potential conflicts of interest related to his businesses and over the Russia investigation.
As such, some Democrats have called to move forward with impeachment proceedings against him, but the likelihood such moves will be successful are considered to be low given the Republican majorities in both chambers of Congress.
