Half of Americans support impeaching President Trump and removing him from office, the same amount as did before Congress' recent public hearings, a new poll has found.

A CNN poll released Tuesday shows 50 percent of Americans support impeachment and removal compared to 43 percent who don't. Support for impeachment remains at an all-time high in this poll, which had it at 47 percent in September and 50 percent in October.
