Trump faces 'serious indictment' as most Americans turn on him a third time
After a slew of botched decisions, economic pain and a brooding fascination with being Jesus, new information reveals Americans are back in President Donald Trump’s impeachment club for a third time. And even more Trump voters are signing up for it.“For the first time since Trump returned to office, the polls are indicating Americans support impeaching their president — for a third time. That is itself a serious indictment against his presidency,” said Strength In Numbers/Verasight pollster G. Elliot Morris, citing a poll showing 55 percent of Americans want Trump gone. Morris also discovered that even 21 percent of 2024 Trump voters and Republicans want him out.Additionally, the people who want Trump out are both more numerous and more committed than the people who want him to stay, said Morris, with respondents showing a 15-point intensity gap in favor of impeachment.Trump’s recent threat to destroy the “whole civilization” of Iran and commit war crimes was the cap for many Trump voters and Independents who went Trump in 2024. But economists are warning that Trump’s war in Iran won’t just balloon gas prices but will impact a wide range of goods, making them more expensive. And few economists are agreeing with Trump that gas prices will “come roaring down" when his voluntary war with Iran comes to an end. The other issue that appears to be a tipping point with voters is Trump’s attempt to deify himself. While Trump has claimed a personal post depicting him as Jesus was intended to show him as a doctor, voters disagreed, and even members of his MAGA base reacted harshly to the post.Morris pointed out that Independent and a group that characterized themselves as “non-voters,” who nevertheless may have slightly voted for Trump over Harris in 2024, also backed impeachment 53-25. Democrats, of course, favored removal by high numbers, but Morris was shocked that 21 percent of Trump’s own 2024 voters now say he should be impeached. “That’s roughly one out of every five of the people who put him back in office,” said Morris. “… If Democrats win the majority in November, they will walk into their first session in January 2027 with a public mandate for impeachment already in hand.”
