Americans Don't Support Impeachment, But Everything Else Is All Bad For Trump

Americans Don’t Support Impeachment, But Everything Else Is All Bad For Trump

https://www.politicususa.com/2019/04/26/americans-dont-support-impeachment-but-everything-else-is-all-bad-for-trump.html

"SNIP.....

58 percent majority of Americans say the Mueller report has not changed their impression of the Trump administration. Among those whose views have changed, 23 percent say they view the administration more negatively while 11 percent view it more positively.

Slightly more than 1 in 3 Americans say the Mueller investigation makes them less likely to support Trump’s reelection in 2020, while 14 percent say they are more likely and a plurality of 46 percent say the findings are not a factor in their choice for the next election.

Voters Don’t Want To Impeach Trump. They Want To Do The Job Themselves

The American people seem to be saying that they aren’t ready to through a messy and unsuccessful impeachment process. Instead, they are ready to vote Trump out themselves. People see Trump as a liar, who wasn’t cleared by Mueller, and the Mueller report made those who were influenced by his findings less likely to reelect the president.

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi understands that Democrats can’t move forward with impeachment without the country on board. House Democrats can investigate Trump to expose his lies and crimes, which could change public opinion on impeachment. It is wise for House Democrats to keep impeachment in their back pockets. They should conduct their investigations and build the case against Trump.

And newspapers should not ask that question. It is too important to put to a popular vote, in my opinion.

tRump is a very sick man, wants to go after his enemies or those who have criticized him or continue to criticize him.

As we've seen its a rather hot debate even here on DU as to whether we should start impeachment proceedings knowing they are unlikely to successfully remove the president from office needing 20 republican votes in the Senate. So 56% saying they oppose "starting the process that could lead to impeachment" does not mean that impeachment would necessarily be unpopular.
