Most Americans favor condemning ex President Trump
Donald TrumpDOJ will resign the majority of U.S. prosecutors appointed by Trump: report Trump’s lawyer withdraws request not to hold impeachment trial on Saturday Kinzinger on opinion calls to Republican Party senators to convict Trump on impeachment trial in his second impeachment trial this week, according to a CBS-YouGov poll released Tuesday.
The poll revealed that 56% favor the former president’s belief, the same percentage that said he supported it in an ABC News-Ipsos poll released on Sunday.
The same percentage of respondents in the CBS poll also believe that the president encouraged the violence of pro-Trump protesters at the United States Capitol on January 6. This included 88% of Democrats, 21% of Republicans and 54% of independents. In January, Trump’s second impeachment, a historic first, accused him of inciting an insurrection against the United States. The sentencing would permanently prevent Trump, who was supposed to be thinking about a 2024 bid for public office.
To secure the two-thirds majority needed to condemn Trump, 17 Republicans would need to support her, a result considered unlikely.
The survey results indicate that the Republican base continues to support the former president and would resent Republican senators voting for the sentencing, with 71 percent saying they would see a vote for impeachment or sentencing as an act of disloyalty.
