A new national poll has revealed that a striking number of Americans would support another impeachment of former President Donald Trump, underscoring how polarizing the 45th president remains even as he eyes another run at the White House.
Trump already made history by becoming the first U.S. president to be impeached twice. Now, with recent polling data showing a surprising percentage of voters open to seeing him impeached yet again, the political climate around his presidency and potential second term is proving to be just as turbulent as ever.
Trump’s Impeachment History
Donald Trump was first impeached by the House of Representatives in December 2019. At the time, lawmakers accused him of pressuring Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to investigate then-political rival Joe Biden, allegedly withholding military aid in exchange for dirt on the Democrat.
After weeks of televised hearings, Trump was impeached for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. The Republican-controlled Senate, however, acquitted him in February 2020.
Barely a year later, Trump faced an even more dramatic showdown with Congress. Following the January 6, 2021 at;ta;ck on the U.S. Capitol, the House charged him with inciting an insurrection. The impeachment came just days before he left office. Yet once again, the Senate acquitted him, leaving Trump emboldened and setting the stage for his continued dominance over the Republican Party.
Now, fresh polling suggests that Americans are not only unwilling to forget those episodes but that many are ready to see Trump face accountability once more.
The New Poll Numbers
According to a Lake Research Partners poll commissioned by Free Speech For People, nearly half (46 percent) of likely voters in competitive congressional districts support impeaching Trump again. Even more striking, 45 percent of those voters say they “strongly support” impeachment.
The poll also revealed that 56 percent of respondents disapprove of Trump’s performance as president overall, despite his continued popularity within core Republican circles.
Political analysts note that the results are unusual. In a statement, the polling firm said:
“It is remarkable and, as far as we know, unprecedented for such a large proportion of voters in swing districts to support impeachment of a president in the first year of their term.”
The timing is critical, as Trump continues to present himself as a strong contender in the upcoming election cycle. The results suggest that while he maintains fierce loyalty among his base, independent and swing voters remain deeply skeptical of his leadership.
The Push for Another Impeachment
The poll coincides with growing pressure from a movement known as Impeach Trump Again. A coalition of constitutional attorneys and advocacy groups has identified 25 separate grounds for pursuing impeachment.
Among the most notable allegations are claims that Trump:
Threatened to use the military against U.S. citizens. Critics point to Trump’s order deploying the National Guard in Washington, D.C. and his subsequent threats to send federal forces into Chicago, describing it as a dangerous federal overreach. Trump later defended his remarks, saying: “We’re not going to wa;r. We’re going to clean up our cities.”
Politicized federal agencies. According to the group, Trump gutted impartial government institutions such as the FBI and the Department of Justice, transforming them into “tools of oppre;ssion.” He allegedly forced out federal prosecutor Erik Siebert, only to replace him with Lindsey Halligan—his former defense attorney who has no prosecutorial experience.
Used the justice system against rivals. Trump reportedly pressured his Attorney General, Pam Bondi, to pursue cases against his critics and political adversaries, including Senator Adam Schiff, former FBI director James Comey, and New York Attorney General Letitia James.
Critics argue that these actions represent a direct attack on the rule of law. For instance, Trump’s long-running feud with Comey dates back to the Russia investigation during his first campaign. Meanwhile, his attempts to discredit Letitia James followed her successful civil fraud case against him last year, which resulted in significant financial penalties.
What This Means for Trump’s Political Future
The poll numbers reflect the stark divide surrounding Trump’s political legacy. On one hand, he remains the dominant figure in Republican politics, with a loyal base that sees him as a fighter against the so-called “establishment.” On the other, independents and moderates continue to view him as a destabilizing force unfit to lead.
Impeachment talk may energize both sides—fueling anger among Trump supporters while reigniting calls for accountability from his critics. What’s clear is that Trump remains a uniquely polarizing figure, one who continues to shape national debates years after leaving the Oval Office.
As the 2026 election cycle inches closer, the latest poll highlights a reality both parties must confront: Donald Trump is not just a former president. He is a political storm that shows no sign of passing, and Americans remain as divided as ever on whether he belongs in the White House—or back in the history books as the only president impeached three times.
