President Donald Trump departs after speaking at an event for NCAA national champions in the State Dining Room of the White House on Tuesday, April 21, 2026.<\/span>Alex Brandon\/AP<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n A majority of<\/span> American adults say that the US House should vote to impeach President Trump\u2014including one-in-five people who voted for him in 2024.<\/p>\n A new poll<\/a> by Strength in Numbers<\/em>, a data-based news website, and the market research platform Verasight found that 55 percent of respondents said they support the US House voting for impeachment. Out of the 1,514 Americans surveyed between April 10 and April 14, 37 percent said they opposed and eight percent reported they were unsure.<\/p>\n While this is just one poll in a collection<\/a> of<\/a> many<\/a>, it is clear that Trump\u2019s approval ratings are sinking. The New York Times<\/em><\/a>\u2019 daily average of dozens of polls has the president at a 38 percent approval rating. On January 27, 2025, the first average calculated following Inauguration Day, the Times<\/em> recorded Trump\u2019s approval rating at 52 percent.\u00a0<\/p>\n The numbers are striking, but there are few avenues for popular sentiment to achieve tangible results in Washington. There have been numerous calls from lawmakers<\/a> to impeach and convict Trump or invoke the 25th Amendment, especially following his threats of genocide against the people of Iran<\/a>. But they appear unlikely to succeed given the Republican majorities in the US House and Senate, as well as large support from his cabinet<\/a>.<\/p>\n
