Impeachment support matches for Hegseth and Trump

A November 2026 Economist/YouGov poll finds 42% of registered voters want Congress to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and 41% want Congress to impeach Donald Trump, with notable differences in Republican uncertainty between the two cases. The result suggests impeachment has become a more normalized tool in public opinion and that partisans may treat cabinet‑level accountability differently from presidential accountability. — If public willingness to consider impeachment extends to cabinet members at levels similar to presidents, that changes how political accountability, congressional incentives, and norm erosion are discussed and policed.
