I see basically no change. That is outside of independents who were 38-39 against removal to 45-46 against removal today. That’s still a one-point advantage among independents against. All that has happened after the official hearings in the House, the passing of the articles of impeachment and the beginning of the trial in the senate is the hardening of the views on Trump by each side.

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.
