42. A majority support impeachment/removal, including 1 in 5 felon voters.

Impeachment is a positive feature for a majority.

You can bet the numbers for impeachment will grow as the global and domestic chaos and harms of his criminal war on Iran escalate.

And those harms will escalate. He will NEVER suck up the humiliating "deal" required to extricate himself. He knows it would paint a big L for Loser on his forehead, and the psychopath is incapable of accepting loss.

He is already pivoting to "holding out is strength" (with the corollary that holding out a very long time is super-strength). He is attempting to manage expectations of the strait being opened before the mid-terms with his "I do not care about the mid-terms." Next he'll probably start citing the fact Obama's team took two years to negotiate the treaty. (Although he may be smart enough to avoid that given that it would just remind everyone he tore up that hard won treaty -- a treaty allies were on board with, unlike his criminal war.)

Out of the 1,514 Americans surveyed between April 10 and April 14, 37 percent said they opposed and eight percent reported they were unsure.

A new Strength In Numbers/Verasight poll conducted April 10-14, 2026 finds 55% of U.S. adults say the House should vote to impeach Trump. 37% oppose, and 8% are unsure. A surprising percentage of both Republicans and Trump’s own 2024 voters say they would support impeachment if a vote were held today.

That net +18 verdict puts Trump in the neighborhood of the numbers Richard Nixon saw at the peak of the Watergate scandal in August 1974 — more on that comparison below. The toplines and crosstabs for this poll can be found on the Strength In Numbers website.l
