Donald Trump, NRCC finance president: Republicans who voted for Trump’s impeachment will not be penalized Blinken, the UN chief’s first contact after the US reinstated the Climate Agreements, WHO GOP senators met with the impeachment team Trump to discuss strategies it was named the worst.
Obama barely beat Abraham Lincoln as the best president of the United States, with 18 percent. Trump was at 13 percent with people naming him the best president.
Among the worst, Trump got the highest percentage, 46 percent, while Obama got the second highest, 24 percent.
Trump ended his presidency with what some would call a disastrous note like his pass rate leaving office was at its lowest point.
Trump reached that rating after months of trafficking electoral conspiracy theories and being accused of inciting violence by the House on January 6.
The poll found that 43 percent of people believe that Trump had great responsibility for the riot, with 47 percent saying the Senate should vote to condemn Trump.
While 53 percent do not believe Trump should run for office again, that will only happen if two-thirds of the Senate condemns Trump.
Although some Republicans seem open to the idea, the Senate would need 17 Republicans to turn against the ex-party leader to get the conviction.
Trump is now in Mar-a-Lago awaiting the Senate impeachment trial, while Obama recently announced he will open his presidential center in Chicago.
The YouGov and the Economist survey interviewed 1,500 American adults from February 6 to 9. The margin of error is plus or minus 3 percentage points.
