Less than half of all Americans want Trump ousted post-impeachment

NEW YORK - Less than half of all Americans say President Donald Trump should be removed from office following his impeachment by the US House of Representatives, according to a Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll released on Thursday, presenting a challenge for Democrats who will seek his ouster in a US Senate trial.

The national online survey, conducted in the hours after the House voted along party lines on Wednesday to charge Trump with abusing his office and obstructing Congress, found that the rare and highly contentious act by lawmakers has done little to change minds in a divided country.
