The House has voted to impeach Trump. It’s once again time to look at the Public’s response since the impeachment hearings began. We’ll do this by comparing Trump’s approval ratings, percentage of those who want Trump impeached and removed along with those who don’t. Trump’s approval rating hasn’t really changed, he has gained a half of a point since the Judiciary Committee took up impeachment. Then there is the party break down. Democrats totally for impeachment and removal, Republicans totally against. Independents opposed by a 5-point margin. What we have seen is each party’s hardening of their views on the impeachment of Trump. Independents moving from being against impeachment and removal by a single point to a 5 point margin opposing impeachment and removal. Impeachment hearings began on 13 Nov 2019 vs. 18 Dec 2019 Trump’s approval 13 Nov 43.9%, 18 Dec 44.5%
13 Nov Democrats for impeachment and removal 82%, 18 Dec Democrats for impeachment and removal 84%. 13 Nov Republicans for impeachment and removal 12%, 18 Dec Republicans for impeachment and removal 9%. 13 Nov Independents for impeachment and removal 38%, 18 Dec Independents for impeachment and removal 41%. 13 Nov Democrats against impeachment and removal 6%, 18 Dec Democrats against impeachment and removal 10%. 13 Nov Republicans against impeachment and removal 80%, 18 Dec Republicans against impeachment and removal 88%. 13 Nov Independents against impeachment and removal 39%, 18 Dec Independents against impeachment and removal 46%.
It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.
