PPPs newest national poll finds a record level of support for impeaching Donald Trump. 49% of voters support impeaching him, to 41% who are opposed to doing so. This marks the 6th month in a row weve found a plurality of voters in favor of impeaching Trump, and its the closest weve found to a majority.
Trumps approval rating has declined by a net 7 points in the last month. In September we found him at a -11 spread with 42% of voters approving of him to 53% who disapproved. Now hes at -18 with 38% of voters approving of him to 56% who disapprove.
Trump claimed last week that he had accomplished more in 9 months than any President in American History, but only 25% of voters believe that claim to 66% who do not, although its a notable measure of the Trump cult that 55% of those who voted for him do believe hes the most accomplished to 32% who disagree. Voters actually put his first 9 months in a very different historical context- 49% already say they think hes the worst President in American History, to 43% who dispute that notion. By a 54/40 margin voters wish Barack Obama was still President instead of Trump, and by a 48/42 spread they wish Hillary Clinton was in the White House rather than Trump.
Trump fares poorly on a number of metrics we tested in the poll. Only 37% of voters think hes honest, to 56% who say hes not. In fact a 52% majority come right out and say they think Trump is a liar, to 41% who disagree with that characterization. There are continued transparency concerns, with 60% of voters thinking he needs to release his tax returns to just 32% who dont think its necessary for him to. And only 31% of voters think Trump has delivered on the core promise of his campaign to Make America Great Again, to 60% who say hes failed on that front.
