Majority of U.S. voters now back historic third impeachment for Donald Trump, a record-breaking first in American political history

Most US voters now back impeaching US president Donald Trump a third time, this reflects a widening national rift and a sense among many Americans that Trump's second term is already straining the Constitution to the breaking point, according to a report.

Polling Shows Strong Support for Donald Trump's Impeachment

A new survey, by Data for Progress between April 18 and April 21, released by ASO Communications and Research Collaborative, discovered that 52% of prospective voters would back Congress initiating an impeachment drive, as per Common Dreams report. Among those are 84% of Democrats, 55% of Independents, and even 20% of Republicans—figures which indicate an extensive cross-party unease just months into Trump's return to the White House, reported Common Dreams.

The research noted that "support for impeachment is now on par with the levels seen during the two most recent impeachment proceedings—even before a full public case has been presented. This moment offers an opportunity to build that case for the American public and demonstrate that elected leaders are committed to upholding their oaths and are willing to act boldly to protect our freedoms, our families, and our futures,"quoted Common Dreams.

"Impeach Trump Again" campaign

Free Speech for People campaign director Alexandra Flores-Quilty said that "Americans across the country refuse to let Trump and his allies destroy our democracy," quoted Common Dreams. Free Speech for People is spearheading a national "Impeach Trump Again" campaign, which already has more than 370,000 signatures on the petition, as per the report.

Common Dreams reported that the group's constitutional lawyers have documented abuses of power by Trump and his billionaire allies since Inauguration Day, from illegal actions targeting immigrants and seeking retribution against perceived adversaries to attacking voting rights and having criminal charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams dismissed.

Flores-Quilty said, "It's up to Congress to do their job, defend the Constitution, and impeach and remove Donald Trump from office for his grave abuses of power," quoted Common Dreams.
