Half of US voters in favour of launching impeachment proceedings against Donald Trump

Nearly half of US voters are in favour of president Donald Trump being impeached, a new poll has shown.  


47 per cent of the people surveyed said they support him being removed as president, while only 43 per cent said they would oppose it. 

The poll also found that 54 per cent of respondents disapproved of the job the president was doing, while only 40 per cent approved.

“Voters have little faith that Donald Trump is telling the truth when it comes to the Russia investigation,” said Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling, which conducted the survey. “Most go so far as to say they think he is a liar.” 

It is the second time in less than a month that the trump has scored poorly in a public poll. 

A recent survey by Quinnipiac University found that after a string of controversies, Trump’s approval rating fell to a record low.

It found that 34 per cent of US citizens approved of their leader, while 57 per cent disapprove. It also found that 68 per cent of respondents believed Trump was “not level-headed”.
