The poll revealed that 56% were in favor of condemning the former president, the same percentage who said they supported her in an ABC News-Ipsos poll published Sunday.
The same percentage of respondents in the CBS poll also believed the president encouraged violence from pro-Trump riots at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6. This included 88% of Democrats, 21% of Republicans and 54% of Independents. In January, Trump’s second ouster, a historic first, accused him of inciting insurgency against the United States. The conviction would definitely ban Trump, who was rumored to be rejecting a 2024 offer, from public office.
To secure the two-thirds majority needed to convict Trump, 17 Republicans would have to support her, a result deemed unlikely.
The results of the poll indicate that the Republican base continues to support the former president and would be taken with Republican Party senators voting by conviction, with 71 percent saying they would consider a vote by indictment or conviction an act of disloyalty.
