Recent polling shows that a majority of Americans are in favor of President Trump being impeached and removed from office, according to both CNN and Fox News.
But many still supported the president, with 45% saying the Senate should not convict Trump.
58% believe Trump abused his power as president for his own personal benefit, and 57% believe he obstructed the House's impeachment investigation.
While 89% of Democrats responding said the president should be removed, just 8% of Republicans agreed. Independents were split, with 48% in favor of removal and 46% against.
In the Fox News poll, 50% of respondents said the Senate should vote to remove the president from office, while 44% disagreed.
However, independents were much more in favor of removing the president than against, 53-34.
Again, as expected, partisanship played a large role, with 83% of Democrats favoring removal and 78% of Republicans against removal. Unlike the previous two polls, independents were against removal, 53-47.
In an ABC News/Washington Post poll, more were in favor of not removing Trump from office than those who want to see him removed, 49-47.
