Trump was impeached twice, but never removed from office!

How can this be, “During his first term, he was impeached twice, but never removed from office.” Trump public opinion please?

The statement refers to the two impeachment proceedings against Donald Trump during his 2017–2021 term. In the U.S. system, “impeachment” is the formal charge brought by the House of Representatives (similar to an indictment), while the Senate holds the trial to decide on “removal.”
 

Regarding public opinion in 2026, the landscape is currently characterized by significant polarization and a recent downward trend in approval ratings as he navigates his second term.

 

Current Approval Ratings (April 2026)

Recent polling indicates that public sentiment has become increasingly critical over the last year:

  • Overall Approval: Recent surveys, including a UMass Amherst Poll from late March 2026, place his approval rating at approximately 33%, a record low for his second term.

     

  • Partisan Divide: Support remains high among his core “MAGA” base (around 89% approval in some areas), but it has softened significantly among moderate Republicans and Independents. Only about 27% of Americans currently say they support all or most of his policies.

     

Key Factors Influencing Public Opinion

Public dissatisfaction is currently driven by several high-pressure issues:

  • Economy & Inflation: Roughly 71% of Americans express disapproval of his handling of inflation, citing rising costs of living as a primary concern.

  • Foreign Policy: The ongoing conflict with Iran and decisions regarding the Russia-Ukraine war have seen declining confidence levels. A majority of Americans (around 63%) currently disapprove of his handling of the situation in Iran.

     

  • Domestic Issues: His immigration and deportation policies, which were central to his 2024 campaign, have shifted from being a perceived strength to a vulnerability, with about 60% of the public now viewing his handling of the issue negatively.

Discussion of a Third Impeachment

Interestingly, current public opinion has reached a point where a slight majority (52%) of voters in recent polls express support for a third impeachment only 14 months into his second term. This sentiment is largely driven by concerns over the “militarization” of federal law enforcement and specific executive actions taken since his return to office.

 

In short, while he maintains a solid foundation of support within the Republican party, the broader American public is currently expressing a high degree of “unease” regarding the economy, foreign military actions, and his administration’s ethics.

IMPEACH TRUMP AND MAKE AMERICA BETTER AGAIN!
