WASHINGTON, Dec. 11 (Xinhua) -- Americans' support for impeachment against President Donald Trump has remained virtually unchanged from last month despite several weeks of public testimony, according to a new poll released Wednesday.

The Monmouth University poll, which was conducted before Monday's House Judiciary Committee impeachment hearing and before House Democrats announced two articles of impeachment on Tuesday, found that 45 percent of Americans believed Trump should be impeached and removed from office while 50 percent did not.

In November, 44 percent of respondents said the president should be impeached and removed while 51 percent said they did not support this, according to a report by The Hill.

"Opinion on impeachment has been rock steady since news of the Ukraine call first broke," Patrick Murray, director of the independent Monmouth University Polling Institute, said in a statement Wednesday.

The poll surveyed 903 U.S. adults between Dec. 4 and Dec. 8. The results have a margin of error of 3.3 percentage points.
