The findings underscore how durable Trump's support has been even in the face of testimony that he used military aid and a coveted Oval Office meeting to pressure the president of Ukraine to announce investigations into Trump's domestic political rivals.
WASHINGTON – As a historic week begins, a USA TODAY/Suffolk University Poll finds Americans closely divided on whether the House of Representatives should impeach President Trump. A narrow majority opposes a conviction by the Senate that would remove him from office., those surveyed oppose by 51%-45% a Senate vote to convict Trump on charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.
Yotam Schachter, 34, a leadership development consultant from Boston, says Trump's behavior warrants impeachment and conviction, but he worries about the impact on the nation, whatever happens next."I see the impeachment as just the latest point of crisis in our polarized divisiveness," he says,"and I haven't seen anybody who is approaching the impeachment from a stance that can bring us together as a nation instead of further dividing us.
The survey shows a yawning gender gap on the issue. Men oppose convicting Trump by close to 2-1, 62%-33%. Women by double digits support a conviction, 57%-40%. That could signal political turbulence ahead for the GOP, which struggled to hold the support of female voters in last year's midterm elections.
The poll of 1,000 registered voters, taken by landline and cellphone Tuesday through Saturday, has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.
