A new national poll has found that a majority of Americans say they would support the US House of Representatives voting to impeach President Donald Trump, with notable backing even coming from a portion of his own 2024 voters.
The survey, conducted by Strength in Numbers and Verasight from April 10-14, 2026, asked 1,514 US adults whether they would support or oppose an impeachment vote against the president. Overall, 55 percent said they supported impeachment, 37 percent opposed it, and 8 percent were unsure.
Pollster G. Elliott Morris described the results as striking. The net margin of +18 (support minus opposition) places Trump’s impeachment numbers close to those seen by Richard Nixon at the height of the Watergate scandal in August 1974, just before Nixon’s resignation.
Morris noted that such levels of support for impeaching a sitting president are unusual in modern polling.Among key breakdowns:
The findings come amid growing criticism of Trump’s second term. His overall approval rating has declined, and some observers point to his administration’s handling of the economy, immigration, and especially the US involvement in the war with Iran that began on February 28, 2026. Critics have also raised questions about the president’s behavior, including late-night social media posts and reports of limited sleep.
Several House Democrats have publicly called for Trump’s removal, either through impeachment or invocation of the 25th Amendment. The White House did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the poll. In conservative media circles, some prominent voices have also distanced themselves. Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who had supported Trump during the 2024 campaign, recently expressed regret. In a video released this week, Carlson said he was “tormented” by his role in helping elect Trump and apologized for “misleading” viewers. “We’re implicated in this for sure,” he stated, linking his comments to current events including the Iran conflict. Megyn Kelly has similarly turned critical.
The poll arrives as Trump’s second term faces multiple pressures. Supporters argue he is delivering on key promises, while opponents point to erratic decision-making and policy fallout. With midterm elections approaching in 2026, these numbers could signal challenges for Republicans if public discontent continues to grow.
Impeachment remains a high bar in practice — it requires a House majority to charge and a two-thirds Senate vote to convict and remove a president. Still, the poll reflects a notable shift in sentiment, showing that frustration with Trump has reached even parts of the coalition that returned him to the White House.
This is one snapshot from a single poll, and public opinion can shift quickly. Further surveys will be needed to see whether this level of support for impeachment holds or reflects a temporary reaction to recent events.
