Half of all Americans support Trump impeachment proceedings: poll


READ MORE

Washington: President Donald Trump’s disapproval rating has hit a high point of 60 per cent, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll that also finds that clear majorities of Americans support the special counsel’s Russia investigation and say the President should not fire Attorney-General Jeff Sessions.


At the start of the September campaign sprint to the midterm elections, which will determine whether Democrats retake control of Congress, the poll finds a majority of the public has turned against Trump and is on guard against his efforts to influence the Justice Department and special counsel Robert Mueller’s wide-ranging probe.

Nearly half of Americans, 49 per cent, say Congress should begin impeachment proceedings that could lead to Trump being removed from office, while 46 per cent say Congress should not.


And a narrow majority – 53 per cent – say they think Trump has tried to interfere with Mueller’s investigation in a way that amounts to obstruction of justice; 35 per cent say they do not think the President has tried to interfere.


Overall, 60 per cent of Americans disapprove of Trump’s job performance, with 36 per cent approving, according to the poll. This is only a slight shift from the last Post-ABC survey, in April, which measured Trump’s rating at 56 per cent disapproval and 40 per cent approval.
