A new survey shows growing public backing for impeaching President Donald Trump — again. Conducted by Lake Research Partners, the poll found that 46% of likely 2026 voters in key swing districts support impeachment, with 45% expressing strong support. Overall, 56% disapprove of Trump’s job performance. Trump, already the first U.S. president impeached twice, was acquitted by the Senate both times — first in 2020 over his phone call with Ukraine’s president, and again in 2021 for allegedly inciting the January 6 Capitol riots.
Now, legal advocacy group Free Speech For People is pushing for a third impeachment, citing 25 potential grounds. Among them:
Abuse of Power: Critics say Trump used federal agencies like the DOJ and FBI to target political opponents, prompting key resignations.
Military Overreach: He deployed federal forces in U.S. cities and threatened to send troops into Chicago.
Free Speech Concerns: Trump has publicly attacked media outlets and threatened networks airing content critical of him.
Immigration Crackdowns: His expansion of ICE raids and controversial detention sites has drawn human rights criticism.
Activists argue Trump’s actions represent “an existential threat” to U.S. democracy. Whether Congress acts remains to be seen, but public sentiment — as the poll suggests — is shifting toward accountability.
