        "summary": "A recent poll reveals that 52% of registered US voters support impeaching President Donald Trump due to his war against Iran and other controversial policies, marking an unprecedented early backlash in his term. Democratic lawmakers, including Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, have intensified calls for his removal, dismissing a temporary ceasefire as insufficient amid threats of genocide against Iran. This surge in impeachment support surpasses historical precedents like Nixon's, highlighting deep divisions over US foreign policy.",
        "content": "<p>A majority of United States citizens want Congress to impeach US\nPresident Donald Trump over his war against Iran and a number of other\ncontroversial policies. This is according to a new poll, more than 40\ndays after the US-Israeli military coalition launched the war against\nthe Islamic Republic.<\/p>\n<p>Newsweek reported that in a survey published on Wednesday (8\/4) local\ntime, 52 percent of registered voters supported impeaching Trump,\ncompared to 40 percent who opposed it.<\/p>\n<p>Cited by Press TV on Thursday (9\/4\/2026), 790 people participated in\nthis survey, which was initiated by two groups opposing Trump\u2019s war\nagainst Iran and other policies: the progressive advocacy organisation\nImpeach Trump Again and Free Speech for People.<\/p>\n<p>The findings also showed that one in seven Republicans supported the\nimpeachment process against Trump.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Newsweek report, this poll was conducted by John\nBonifaz, president and co-founder of Free Speech for People, for the\nveteran progressive polling firm Celinda Lake. The poll has a margin of\nerror of 3.9 percent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is an unprecedented result at the beginning of a president\u2019s\nterm,\u201d Bonifaz said during a press conference.<\/p>\n<p>Voters have turned against Trump much earlier than they did against\nformer President Richard Nixon\u2014the only other two-term US president to\nreceive majority support for impeachment.<\/p>\n<p>Previously, the House of Representatives had impeached Trump twice\nduring his first term, but the Senate rejected the impeachments both\ntimes.<\/p>\n<p>Trump is currently facing the latest impeachment efforts from several\ncongressional leaders, particularly from the Democratic faction,\nfollowing his threats and war against Iran since 28 February.<\/p>\n<p>One member of Congress calling for Trump\u2019s impeachment is Alexandria\nOcasio-Cortez. The Democratic politician has again called for impeaching\nPresident Donald Trump, emphasising that the announcement of a temporary\nceasefire \u201cchanges nothing\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The President has threatened genocide against the Iranian people and\ncontinues to use those threats as leverage,\u201d said the Democratic Party\npolitician in a post on platform X.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe can no longer risk the world or our country\u2019s well-being,\u201d she\ncontinued, as quoted by Al Jazeera on Wednesday (8\/4).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhether through the cabinet or Congress, the President must be\nremoved from office. We are playing on the brink of destruction,\u201d Cortez\nstated.<\/p>\n<p>Previously, dozens of Democratic legislators had also called for\nTrump to be removed from office regarding his threats against Iran. Some\nof them now emphasise that this stance has not changed despite the\nceasefire announcement.<\/p>",
