President Donald Trump's approval rating has gone up since the impeachment process began, and most Americans still don't want the Senate to convict him, a new poll has found.
The latest Gallup survey on the mood of the nation found 44 percent of U.S. adults approved of the commander-in-chief's performance going into the Senate impeachment trial, which is set to begin in earnest on Tuesday.
His approval rating is five points higher than it was when the same Gallup poll was conducted between October 1 and 13 last year, shortly following House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's decision to launch the impeachment inquiry.
President Trump's net disapproval rating has taken a steeper fall in the same time frame, down nine points from a -18 approval rating in October, according to Gallup polling data.
When pollsters asked 1,014 Americans between January 2 and 15 of this year whether they wanted the Senate to convict the commander-in-chief, a slim majority of 51 percent said they opposed conviction and removal from office.
By comparison, 46 percent of polled U.S. adults backed his conviction and removal from office in the build up to the delayed House vote on sending articles of impeachment to the upper chamber. A further 3 percent said they had no opinion on the matter.
The fresh polling numbers on whether or not the commander-in-chief should be convicted are exactly the same as Gallup's final poll and we know one poster will go nuts over this story right NW. before the Democratic-led House voted to impeach President Trump on December 18, under charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.
Speaking to Newsweek about the result, Gallup senior editor Jeff Jones said: "If party leaders are decrying the impeachment as a 'hoax' or 'witch hunt' people who identify with Republicans are more likely to dismiss the charges as not being serious than to take them into account and begin to question their support for Trump.
