A poll indicates that 43% of Americans want Trump impeached.

The results of the monthly national poll — conducted by Harvard University's Center for American Political Studies and the research marketing firm Harris Insights and Analytics — published this week showed that 43% of voters want Trump removed from office one way or another, while 42% would prefer to leave things as they are. 12% said Trump should be censured by Congress. 

The president's handling of illegal immigration and the recently escalated tensions between the US and North Korea, accompanied by controversies... Republican's remarks on the violence in CharlottesvilleThese events increased rejection of the president's leadership among Americans and brought impeachment back into the public vocabulary.

Conspiracy theories about the Trump campaign's alleged ties to Russia may also have influenced the nation's mood, but a surprising 60% of those surveyed believe that investigations related to Russia are harming, rather than helping, the country.

At the beginning of last week, "Impeach Trump" was one of the most talked-about topics on Twitter. While some politicians have already started the process or declared their intentions to do so, others warn that now that the country seems to be divided between two camps, the consequences of such a reckless action could be terrible and even lead to a civil war. 

"Try to remove him from office through impeachment. Just try. You'll have a spasm of violence — an insurrection — in this country, like you've never seen before… Both sides are heavily armed, my friend," former Trump advisor Roger Stone, who previously worked to elect Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan, told TMZ.

Others simply wonder why Trump would be impeached. 

"Impeachment of President Trump for what? Being offended by him? Disagreeing with his policies? There is no evidence at this time that shows he committed 'treason, bribery, or other minor crimes and misdemeanors'," wrote Shane Vander Hart of Caffeinated Thoughts, citing Article II, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution.

"The standard [for conducting an impeachment] is demanding, and it must be. The impeachment process is not meant to be a free-for-all, nor should it be politicized."
