While 56 percent of Americans believe Trump should be convicted, 43 percent said he should be acquitted.
A similar poll in January 2020, during Trump’s first impeachment trial, found that only 47 percent said Trump should be removed from office and 49 percent said he shouldn’t be.
Analysis of the latest poll showed that support and opposition for Trump’s conviction falls strongly across party lines.
More than nine in 10 democrats supported the conviction, while eight out of 10 Republicans opposed it.
