Overview
- A new national survey found 52% of registered voters support impeaching President Trump and 40% oppose, based on 790 interviews with a 3.9-point margin of error and commissioned by two progressive groups.
- Party lines are stark, with about 84% of Democrats favoring impeachment, roughly 81% of Republicans opposing it, and independents leaning toward impeachment at about 55% support.
- Representative John Larson says he has filed articles of impeachment tied to the Iran conflict, following two failed impeachment attempts last year by Representative Al Green.
- The effort faces steep math because impeachment needs a House majority and Senate conviction requires two-thirds, while Republicans currently control both the House and the Senate.
- Trump’s Iran campaign and threats over the Strait of Hormuz have deepened public backlash, with his approval sliding to 39% and pressure building on Republicans in competitive 2026 House races.
