US Citizens Demand Trump's Impeachment Over Iran War
Many United States (US) citizens want Congress to impeach US President Donald Trump due to his war actions against Iran and several other controversial policies. The US-Israel vs Iran war has been ongoing for 40 days.
Citing detiNews, Newsweek reported a survey published on Wednesday (8/4) local time, in which 52% of registered voters supported Trump’s impeachment. Meanwhile, the remaining 40% opposed it.
As reported by Press TV on Thursday (9/4/2026), 790 people participated in this survey. The survey was initiated by two groups opposing Trump’s war against Iran and other policies: the progressive advocacy organisation Impeach Trump Again and Free Speech for People.
The findings also show that one in seven Republicans support the impeachment process against Trump.
The survey was conducted by John Bonifaz, president and one of the founders of Free Speech for People, for the veteran progressive polling firm Celinda Lake. This poll has a margin of error of 3.9%.
“This is an unprecedented result at the beginning of a president’s term,” Bonifaz said during a press conference.
Voters are said to have turned against Trump much earlier than they did against former President Richard Nixon – the only other two-term US president to receive majority support for impeachment.
As previously reported, the House of Representatives has impeached Trump twice during his first term, but the Senate rejected the impeachment both times.
Trump is currently also facing the latest impeachment efforts from several congressional leaders, particularly from the Democratic faction, following his threats and war against Iran since 28 February.
One member of Congress calling for Trump’s impeachment is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The Democratic politician has again called for the impeachment of President Donald Trump, emphasising that the announcement of a temporary ceasefire “changes nothing”.
The President has threatened genocide against the Iranian people and continues to use that threat as leverage,” the Democratic Party politician stated in a post on platform X.
“We can no longer risk the world or our country’s well-being,” she continued, as quoted by Al Jazeera on Wednesday (8/4).
“Whether through the cabinet or Congress, the President must be removed from office. We are playing on the brink of destruction,” Cortez asserted.
Previously, dozens of Democratic legislators had also called for Trump to be removed from office regarding his threats against Iran.
Several among them now emphasise that this stance has not changed despite the ceasefire announcement.
