A new Strength in Numbers/Verasight poll shows a majority of Americans are now on board with impeaching Donald Trump, with 55 percent supporting it and just 37 percent opposed. That’s not a wobble—that’s a warning sign.
Even more striking? The numbers are creeping into territory not seen since Richard Nixon was circling the drain during the peak of Watergate. Pollster G. Elliot Morris didn’t mince words: Trump’s approval is now brushing up against those infamous 1974 levels.
But here’s where it gets really uncomfortable for Trump: cracks are forming inside his own base.
About 1 in 5 Republicans—yes, Republicans—say they’d support impeaching him. The same goes for voters who put him back in the White House in 2024. That’s not some fringe slice of the electorate; that’s a meaningful chunk of his political foundation starting to peel away.
Democrats, unsurprisingly, are all-in: nearly 9 in 10 support impeachment. No shock there. The real story is that Trump is losing the kind of loyalty he’s always depended on.
And it’s not happening in a vacuum.
Trump’s increasingly erratic behavior—especially his late-night, profanity-filled rants on Truth Social—has critics openly questioning his fitness for office. Some House Democrats are already floating the once-unthinkable: removing him via the 25th Amendment.
Meanwhile, the issues that helped carry him in 2024—immigration and the economy—are no longer safe ground. Voters are souring there too.
Then there’s the conservative media world, where the knives are quietly coming out.
Figures like Megyn Kelly and Tucker Carlson—once reliable Trump amplifiers—have started turning on him, especially after his military escalation with Iran earlier this year.
Carlson, in particular, didn’t just distance himself—he owned it.
“We’re part of the reason this is happening,” he admitted, going as far as apologizing for backing Trump in the first place. “I’m sorry for misleading people.”
That kind of public regret from a figure like Carlson isn’t just rare—it’s a flashing red signal.
The White House, for its part, has stayed silent.
But the numbers—and the growing chorus of uneasy allies—are getting harder to ignore.
