Half of Americans say the Senate should vote to convict and remove President Trump from office, according to a new Fox News poll.

The survey, which was released Sunday and conducted as the Senate impeachment trial began in earnest, found that 50 percent of Americans think the Senate should vote to convict and remove Trump, while 44 percent believe the upper chamber should not vote to remove the president.

Opinions on impeachment and removal break strongly along partisan lines. Eighty-one percent of Democrats say Trump should be removed from office, while 84 percent of Republicans say he shouldn't. A majority of independent voters (53 percent) think Trump should be removed, while just 34 percent say he should not.
