Poll: Convict Trump!

 

Yet another poll, this time ABC News/Ipsos, is showing a healthy majority of Americans supports convicting malignant insurrectionist Donald "Mango Mussolini" Trump at his second impeachment trial next week:

Compared to public attitudes in the early days of his first impeachment trial, support for the Senate convicting Trump is higher now. In an ABC News/Washington Post poll published in late January 2020, when the first trial was ongoing but before senators had voted, 47% of Americans said the Senate should vote to remove Trump from office and 49% said he should not be removed.

But in this latest poll, 56% of Americans say Trump should be convicted and barred from holding office again, and 43% say he should not be. The new poll was conducted by Ipsos in partnership with ABC News using Ipsos' KnowledgePanel. [snip]

Support for conviction among Republicans was low in the latest ABC News/Ipsos poll, but slightly higher than it was ahead of Trump's first Senate impeachment trial. In the January 2020 ABC News/Washington Post poll, 9% of Republicans said the Senate should vote to remove Trump from office. In this new poll, 15% of Republicans say they support the Senate convicting and barring Trump from office.

Among Democrats, support for Trump's conviction is nearly universal in the ABC News/Ipsos poll, with 92% in favor. Independents mirror the full population, with 54% in support of the Senate convicting Trump and prohibiting him from holding office, and 45% against.  (our emphasis)

The vast majority of spineless careerist Senate Republicans will be looking exclusively at the Republican voter numbers, which show dogged support for the little- man- who- would- be- tyrant, though it's somewhat diminishing.  They'll violate their oaths, put Trump over country, and cast their votes to acquit.  Rotten and un-American to the core.
