More Americans want to see Trump impeached - poll
Forty-three percent of voters want US Congress to impeach President Donald Trump, according to a new POLITICO/Morning Consult poll, up from 38% last week.
But that's still less than the 45% who don't want Congress to impeach Trump, down a tick from 46% the week before.

Much of the support for impeaching Trump comes from political considerations, the poll shows — not a belief that Trump is actually guilty of impeachable offenses, like treason, bribery or obstructing justice.

Of those who want Congress to move toward impeachment, a 54-percent majority of those believe Trump “has proven he is unfit to serve and should be removed from office, regardless of whether he committed an impeachable offense or not.” Only 43%of those seeking impeachment believe Trump has committed an offense that meets the high constitutional standards for removal.

The POLITICO/Morning Consult poll was conducted May 25-30. It included interviews with 1,991 registered voters and has a margin of error of plus or minus 2 percentage points.
