More voters are now in favor of impeaching Donald Trump (48%) than are opposed to impeaching the president (41%) in the latest PPP Poll.
According to PPP, “For the first time we find more voters (48%) in support of impeaching Trump than there are (41%) opposed to the idea. Only 43% of voters think Trump is actually going to end up serving his full term as President, while 45% think he won’t, and 12% aren’t sure one way or the other.”
There is even more bad news in the poll for Republicans. Americans are experiencing serious buyer’s remorse when it comes to Trump. By a margin of 49%-41%, respondents said that they wish Hillary Clinton were president. Trump’s net approval rating remains an upside down dumpster fire of (-14) Forty percent approve of the president’s job performance, and 54% disapprove.
Trump is becoming a major liability to the Republicans in Congress who are protecting him. If the American people want impeachment, and Republicans refuse to impeach him, voters will elect a new Congress that will be open to appointing a special prosecutor and if the evidence warrants it, impeaching this president.
