A majority of Montanans approve of Trump’s
job performance and oppose impeaching him
Update, 1904 MST. The U.S. House approved both articles of impeachment a few minutes ago.
There’s a very high probability that by the end of today, the U.S. House of Representatives will have voted to impeach President Trump. Although a slim majority (51 to 46 percent) of Americans support impeaching him, a three to two majority of Montanans oppose impeaching him.
Trump’s job approval rating is underwater nationwide, but it remains above water in Montana, where he received 56.5 percent of the popular vote in 2016.
These numbers should worry Montana’s Democrats. Unless public support for Trump collapses, and it might, Republicans will be in a very good position to win all statewide election in Montana in 2020.
