  Majority of Americans back Trump's impeachment, finds new poll
  
  Half of Americans support the impeachment of Donald Trump, as the president’s unpopularity reaches a fresh high, according to a new poll. In findings that will represent more bad news for the White House, the poll found 49 per cent of those asked believed Congress should begin impeachment proceedings, while 46 per cent were opposed to such an idea. The Washington Post-ABC News poll also found Mr Trump’s disapproval rating had hit a new level - a full 60 per cent. At the same time, it found a clear majority of Americans supported special counsel Robert Mueller’s ongoing probe into possible collusion between the Trump campaign, an investigation the president has repeated denounced as a “witch hunt”.

Death came to McCain nine years to the day after Kennedy, and by the same cause: brain cancer.
