As his approval rating falls, support for impeaching the President rises.

Public Policy Polling’s latest national poll found a record level of support for impeaching Donald Trump. 49% of voters support impeachment while 41% oppose it, with 10% undecided.

For 6 months in a row the polling organization found a plurality of voters in favor of impeaching Donald Trump. However this is the closest results to a majority (>50%).


President Trump’s approval rating declined by a net 7 points in October. In September PPP found him at 42% of voters approving of him to 53% who disapproved. Now those numbers are 38% of voters approving of the President to 56% who disapprove, with 6% undecided.

The President claimed last week that he had accomplished more in 9 months than any President in American History. However only 25% of voters believe that claim while 66% don't.

Although it’s notable to mention the President's cult of personality still garners 55% of those who voted for him believing he is the most accomplished President ever, to only 32% of Trump voters who disagree.



Overall, voters put his first 9 months in a very different light.

49% of voters think Donald Trump is the worst President in American History. Only 43% of voters think some other President is worse.

By a 54/40 margin, voters wish Barack Obama was still President instead of Trump. By 48/42 spread they wish Hillary Clinton was President rather than Donald Trump.

Only 37% of voters consider President Trump honest to 56% who say he’s not. And in a startling statistic, a majority of voters, 52%, say Trump is a liar. Only 41% disagree with that characterization.

There are continued transparency concerns as well. 60% of voters think President Trump needs to release his tax returns with just 32% who think it’s unnecessary.

And only 31% of voters think Trump delivered on the core promise of his campaign to ‘Make America Great Again.’ 60% of voters say Donald Trump failed completely on making America great.

Meanwhile, the hashtag #ImpeachTrump and variations of it continue to trend in social media.

And several petitions calling for impeachment have been filed.

GOP Rep. Blames Coordinated 'Ruse' After Swastika Image Is Seen Displayed In His Office

Ohio Republican Representative Dave Taylor demanded an investigation after a swastika image was found on display in his Washington, D.C., office, and blamed it on a "targeted" "ruse."

Politico obtained a photo from a virtual meeting showing a distorted image of the American flag—its red and white lines altered into the shape of a swastika— pinned to what appears to be a cubicle wall behind Angelo Elia, a staffer for Taylor. Beside it hung a pocket Constitution and a congressional calendar. Elia’s involvement in the incident, if any, remains unclear.
