The latest five surveys as each pollster published them, compiled by VoteHub (CC BY 4.0) and retrieved 2026-10-28. We only display them — no calculation, weighting or editing. A single survey often reports all adults and registered voters separately, so the same pollster and dates can appear twice; where approve and disapprove add up to less than 100%, the rest were unsure or did not answer.

PoliticsThird attempt to impeach Trump virtually inevitable — newspaper

The Hill reported that a third impeachment attempt against US President Donald Trump would be virtually inevitable if Democrats take the House after the midterm elections. Its outcome would depend heavily on the Senate: continued Republican control could lead to a quick failure, while a Democratic majority could produce a prolonged process. Trump has already faced impeachment proceedings twice, in 2019 and 2021, both rejected by the Senate.
