SUPPORT FOR DONALD TRUMP'S IMPEACHMENT IS HIGHER THAN HIS APPROVAL RATING

Last edited Sat Jun 23, 2018, 06:54 PM - Edit history (1)

President Donald Trump is a mere 1 percentage point away from former commander in chief Richard Nixon when it comes to the number of Americans who want him impeached, according to a new poll released Friday.

A wide-ranging SRSS poll conducted for CNN touched on a number of topics, including Trump’s handling of the investigation into Russia’s meddling in the 2016 election, and whether or not the president should testify before special counsel Robert Mueller.

But the question of impeachment stood out most, especially vis-à-vis the only president who ever resigned: Nixon.

Forty-two percent of those polled answered that Trump “should be impeached,” compared to 51 percent who answered they “don’t feel that way” and 7 percent who registered no opinion.

The current poll also reflected a 39 percent approval rating for Trump, his lowest mark in the SRSS poll since February, when it was 35 percent. Results from March and May were far stronger, at 42 and 41 percent, respectively.

Trump’s three closest predecessors did not receive a number higher than 33 percent of Americans wanting them out of office. Between August and September 2006, George W. Bush had 30 percent of the country saying he should be impeached, while 33 percent felt the same about Barack Obama in July 2014.

2. When a president abuses children intentionally

There's no excuse for anyone in Congress to not act against the abuser. HE has to resign for this , or be removed from office . We have no room in OUR government for someone who's abuses children like this, and shouldn't get away with it. He's psychologically training his supporters to accept lying, corruption, treasonous acts against the country, sexual abuse of women, abusing children, robbing people of their rights, and promoting violence , and trying to criminalize innocent people because they oppose him, or attack our free press. That isn't America , that's not even close people. We've watched every time he gets away with things he escalates it to something much worse. I think its reached the point of enough is enough , and his removal has to happen now. We're better than trump , and our country is too , unless again nothing is done to him , and he's allowed to stay.
