Over 55% of Americans support impeaching Trump; 66% disapprove of the war in Iran, poll shows

President Donald Trump, who has been leading the US's war against Iran, has been facing trouble back home. A new national poll has now revealed that at least 66 per cent of Americans feel that the war has not been worth the cost to Washington.

The survey, conducted by Strength in Numbers and Verasight, showed that only 29 per cent of Americans feel that the war in Tehran is worth the cost, and only eight per cent were unsure.

Additionally, roughly 55 per cent of Americans would support the US House of Representatives voting to impeach Trump. The survey, which was conducted from April 10–14, asked 1,514 US adults whether they would support or oppose an impeachment vote against the president. Only 37 per cent opposed it, and eight per cent said they were unsure.

Pollster G. Elliott Morris described the results as striking. Morris noted that a surprising percentage of both Republicans and Trump’s own 2024 voters say they would support impeachment if a vote were held today. The net margin of +18 (support minus opposition) puts Trump in the neighbourhood of the numbers Richard Nixon saw at the peak of the Watergate scandal in August 1974.
