Republican Survey Backs Bondi Impeachment as Approval Rating Plummets Amid Epstein Files
Updated (2 articles)
Large Republican Survey Shows Impeachment Support poll of more than 30,000 Republican participants indicates strong backing for impeaching Attorney General Pam Bondi. The survey’s size suggests broad interest within the party, though methodological details are not disclosed. Results were reported on December 30, 2025, underscoring the immediacy of the political development [1].
AtlasIntel Poll Documents 47‑Point Approval Collapse Bondi’s net approval fell from +6 in February to –41 in December, a 47‑point swing captured by a 2,315‑respondent survey with a ±2‑point margin of error. Approval dipped to 26 % while disapproval rose to 67 % during the December 15‑19 field period. The dramatic decline aligns with broader Republican dissatisfaction reflected in the impeachment‑support survey [2].
Epstein File Release Triggers Democratic Impeachment Calls The AtlasIntel poll was conducted the week before the Department of Justice released redacted Jeffrey Epstein files, a timing noted by both articles. In response, Democratic lawmakers urged impeachment of Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, citing concerns over the redactions. This political pressure coincides with the steep drop in Bondi’s approval ratings [2].
Bondi’s X Statement and DOJ’s Ongoing Transparency Bondi posted on X reaffirming the DOJ’s intent to pursue charges related to Epstein’s trafficking activities. The department also announced plans to release additional Epstein‑related documents in the coming weeks. Concurrently, the poll showed a decline in former President Trump’s approval, indicating a broader erosion of support for top officials [2].
