Fifty-five percent of likely American voters support the Senate deciding to remove President Donald Trump from office, according to a Microsoft News poll released on Wednesday. Forty percent are opposed to his removal.
Last week, the same poll showed only 48% backed Trump’s removal as president, while 47% were against it.
Other results from the survey include:
- Forty-four percent approve of the job Trump is doing as president, while 51 percent disapprove.
- If the presidential election were held today, 49% said they would vote for the Democratic candidate, 40% said they would vote for Trump, and 11% gave another answer.
- Fifty-eight percent of likely voters said the country was headed in the wrong direction, while only 32% said it was headed in the right direction.
The poll uses online surveys, delivered to a random sample of likely voters, to produce statistically valid results. Each day 1,500 responses are analyzed. The margin of error is +/- 3 percentage points.
