Trump starts the impeachment battle with a majority against him

There’s a frequent number in the new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll, and it’s not a good one for President Trump — 53 percent.

Fifty-three percent of Americans disapprove of Trump’s job.

Fifty-three percent hold a negative personal view of the president.

Fifty-three percent don’t believe the president has been honest and trustworthy when it comes to his actions regarding Ukraine.

And 53 percent is the average between the 51 percent who say the allegations against Trump are serious and should be fully investigated, and the combined 55 percent who want Trump either impeached/removed right now or who want an impeachment inquiry. CONT.
