The more President Trump opens his mouth, the more people want to get rid of him, it seems.
Two weeks into his presidency, 40% of voters already want to impeach him, according to data released by Public Policy Polling on Thursday.
The discontent had increased from 35% the week before, according to the polling group. Only 48% of voters oppose impeachment.
An impeachment would be rare. A President can only be impeached for “Treason, Bribery and other high Crimes and Misdemeanors,” according to the Constitution. This has only happened to two Presidents — Andrew Johnson in 1868 and Bill Clinton 130 years later.
Only a select few scandals would be enough to take down Trump, the Daily News reported last month, despite his history of questionable behavior.
His conduct in his first few weeks in office has led 52% of voters to wish that Barack Obama was still living in the White House, according to Public Policy Polling. Just 43% are happy Trump is in charge of the country.
The polling group found that President Trump did not have strong support for his executive order on immigration that administration officials claim is not a “ban.” Just 47% of voters supported the order, while 49% were against it.
Additionally, polling found that voters do not have a strong affection for Trump advisor Steve Bannon. Just 19% see him favorably, while 40% have a “negative” opinion of him, according to the polling.
Voters are leery of giving him a seat on the National Security Council. Even those who voted for Trump, by a 40-35% margin, believe more “traditional members” should have that position.
Polling also shows that 46% of voters support Obama’s Affordable Care Act, while 41% are opposed. Just one-third of voters want Congress to throw out the healthcare package and start over.
