New Fox Poll: 50% Want Trump Convicted & Removed

Fox News reports:

Voters give the economy its best ratings in nearly two decades in the latest Fox News Poll — and credit President Trump. And yet as his impeachment trial begins, Trump’s job approval holds steady, while half say the Senate should remove him from office.

Trump’s best job rating is on his handling of the economy: a record 56 percent approve, while 38 percent disapprove. The previous high was 53 percent approval in July 2018.

More disapprove than approve of his job performance on every other issue tested on the poll. He’s underwater on guns (42 percent approve, 51 percent disapprove), immigration (41-56), foreign policy (40-56), health care (38-54), government spending (37-55), race relations (37-56), and the environment (35-57).

Brand new Fox poll: “On impeachment, by a 50-44 percent margin, voters think the Senate should vote to convict Trump and remove him from office.” https://t.co/VIAuzlbrsH pic.twitter.com/CUZtSyAwzo
