There's a significant gender gap in the American public's support for President Donald Trump's impeachment and removal as overall support for impeachment has stagnated in recent weeks, according to recent Insider polling.
The majority of women - 52% - said they either "probably" or "definitely" want the president to be impeached and removed from office, while just 34% of women said the president shouldn't be impeached and removed. This 18-point gap is twice as large as the gap between men who do and don't support impeachment and removal.
Among men, Insider's polling found that 46% think Trump should be impeached and removed, while 43% think he shouldn't be.
This comes as support for impeaching the president has plateaued following two weeks of televised impeachment hearings.
Overall, 46% of Americans now support impeachment, while 33% oppose it, according to Insider's polling this week. Support for impeachment among the general public reached a high of 50% in late October, according to Insider polling.
Other recent polling has found a similarly dramatic gender gap concerning impeachment. A CNN poll released this week found a whopping 61% of women support impeaching and removing Trump, while 53% of men oppose impeachment. That number marked an increase over CNN's previous numbers. In October, CNN's polling found 56% of women supported impeaching and removing Trump.
Women - particularly women of color - are much more disapproving of Trump's presidency than men are. About 64% of women disapprove of his job in office so far, according to an October Washington Post/NBC News poll.
