With Trump’s impeachment trial in the Senate drawing closer, 50 percent of Americans believe that the Senate should find the now-former president guilty for his role in stoking the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol that left five people, including a Capitol Police officer, dead.

Trump’s impeachment trial — his second in little more than a year — is set to begin Feb. 8, weeks after the House voted to impeach him after the riot.
