The American voters, by a 56 to 36 per cent margin, said they didn't want Congress to take action against the president, a Quinnipiac University National Poll found.
"American voters don't want Congress to tell President Donald Trump, 'You're fired!' by serving him with articles of impeachment," Xinhua quoted Tim Malloy, Assistant Director of the poll, as saying.

The survey also found that US voters, 54 to 30 per cent, trusted the news media more than Trump to tell the truth about important issues. Republicans were the only group that trusted Trump more than the media, by 72 to 12 per cent.
Quinnipiac University surveyed 1,038 voters nationwide from September 6 to 9, with a margin of error of 3.7 percentage points.
