According to a [Monmouth University Poll](https://www.monmouth.edu/polling-institute/reports/monmouthpoll%5Fus%5F030619/) conducted after former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen [testified before Congress](https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/02/27/us/politics/michael-cohen-testimony.html), 42% of Americans back impeachment and removal, an increase from 36% who felt the same way in the previous poll. “The fact that more independents are starting to question Trump’s fitness for office could be a sign of trouble, if not for impeachment itself than for his re-election prospects in 2020,” said Patrick Murray, director of the independent Monmouth University Polling Institute. The poll also found that 54% of respondents believe that Trump reimbursed Cohen for [paying off porn star Stormy Daniels](http://time.com/5428162/stormy-daniels-trump-spotlight/) during the 2016 election, and 48% believe he personally asked people to mislead investigators or Congress on his business dealings or Russian interference in the election. The live-interview poll was conducted March 1-4 of a national random sample of 802 adults over 18\. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5546365/trump-impeachment-poll-monmouth/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5546365/trump-impeachment-poll-monmouth/"},"headline":"Support for Impeaching President Trump Ticks Up Since Michael Cohen Testimony","datePublished":"2019-03-06T19:12:27.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-23T22:57:26.558Z","description":"4 in 10 Americans now support it, a new poll shows","url":"https://time.com/5546365/trump-impeachment-poll-monmouth/","keywords":["Donald Trump","Congress","Polling","Impeachment","michael cohen"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltee3304fc2f2469ca/6989462a86f68e54e46eb74a/trump-north-korea-summit-hanoi.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Ryan Teague Beckwith","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/ryan-teague-beckwith/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltee3304fc2f2469ca/6989462a86f68e54e46eb74a/trump-north-korea-summit-hanoi.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"trump-north-korea-summit-hanoi","caption":"VIETNAM-US-NKOREA-DIPLOMACY-SUMMIT","creditText":"Manan VatsyayanA—AFP/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/donald-trump/","name":"Donald Trump"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5546365/trump-impeachment-poll-monmouth/","name":"Support for Impeaching President Trump Ticks Up Since Michael Cohen Testimony"}}]}] ```
