A new poll shows half of Texas voters — and a slight plurality of Republicans — believe the state House’s impeachment of now-suspended Attorney General Ken Paxton was justified.
Ken Paxton, suspended as state attorney general after he was impeached by the Texas House in May, recites the Pledge of Allegiance at a Donald Trump rally in Conroe on Jan. 29, 2022., The Texas Tribune’s daily newsletter that keeps readers up to speed on the most essential Texas news.
Among Paxton’s fellow Republicans, 31% said the impeachment was justified and 30% said it was not. Thirty-nine percent said they did not know or had no opinion. The vote triggered Paxton’s temporary suspension from office. Now the Senate is preparing to hold a trial on whether to permanently remove him from office.
The latest poll also found that a clear majority of Texas voters have heard about Paxton’s impeachment to some degree. Thirty percent said they have heard about it “a lot,” 42% said they have heard about it “some” and the rest said they had heard about it “not very much” or not at all.
