It's interesting to see popular opinion moving in Romney's favor on this. He's becoming a bit of a martyr here in Utah and it seems to be moving his way nationally outside of Trump's base.
By a more than 10-point margin, registered voters approve of Republican Sen. Mitt Romney's decision to break with his party and vote to convict President Donald Trump on one of the articles of impeachment against him, according to a Morning Consult/Politico poll conducted after last week's vote.
The Utah senator's vote marked the first time in U.S. history that a senator voted to convict a president from his own party in an impeachment trial.
Half of the voters surveyed said they approved of Romney's vote to find Trump guilty of abuse of power, while 39% said they disapproved and 10% said they didn't know or didn't have an opinion.
Mitt Romney impeachment vote approved by voters 50%-39%, poll finds
