President Trump’s job approval numbers are holding steady as his impeachment trial in the Senate is about to get underway, according to a new poll released on Monday.

Forty-four percent of Americans approve of the job Trump is doing as president – remaining within the 43 percent and 45 percent he received over the past three polls and slightly higher than the 39 percent and 41 percent he polled as the impeachment inquiry began in the House last fall, a Gallup survey showed.

Fifty-three percent disapprove of Trump.

It also showed that 88 percent of Republicans, 37 percent of independents and 10 percent of Democrats approve of the job Trump is doing.

The president hit his highest approval rating of 46 percent in April 2019.

His lowest – 35 percent – was recorded several times in a period from August to December 2017.

Asked whether they wanted their senators to vote to convict Trump and remove him from office, 51 percent said they want the president to remain in office while 46 percent said he should be booted from the White House.

Broken down along party lines, 93 percent of Republicans say Trump should not be removed and 84 percent of Democrats say he should.

Independents are split on the question – with 49 percent in favor of removal and 46 percent opposed.

The poll was conducted between Jan. 2 and Jan. 15, after the House voted to impeach the president on Dec. 18 and before the Senate trial formally got underway last Thursday.

It will begin in earnest again on Tuesday when senators are expected to vote on a rules package governing how the trial will play out.

The survey polled a random sample of 1,014 adults and has a plus/minus 4 percentage point margin of error.
