55% support Trump’s removal in a new poll. No wonder Mitch is getting wobbly.
When you follow polling daily, you learn people rarely make big jumps from Opposition to Support, but slowly move through don’t know or third-party. This polling is a clear sign that Republican policy of complete obstruction is not selling well to voting public.— David Rothschild (@DavMicRot) December 25, 2019
Trump’s crude insults over the Christmas holiday don’t seem to have made him any more popular. Imagine that:
Fifty-five per cent of those asked said they were in favour of the US president’s conviction by the Senate, a figure which has shot up from 48 per cent the week before.
Meanwhile, the number of people against Mr Trump’s removal has dropped to an all-time low, according to the MSN poll.
On Christmas Day, 40 per cent were opposed to the Senate voting to convict the president, who has been impeached over his dealings with Ukraine and an alleged subsequent attempt to obstruct congress.The gap between the two views has become much wider since last week, when there was little to divide them (48 per cent in favour of Mr Trump’s removal, 47 per cent against).
The percentage of respondents who neither supported nor opposed conviction also grew.
David Rothschild, an economist at Microsoft Research, said the numbers of people shifting from opposition to removal to “don’t know” was significant. “When you follow polling daily, you learn people rarely make big jumps from Opposition to Support,” he said.
He was impeached because he bribed the Ukrainian president to smear his political rivals and exonerate Russia for 2016. But his ongoing juvenile tantrum ever since then probably hasn’t brought anyone who was undecided to his side.
Competent adults who have nothing to hide and are assured of their innocence don’t act this way:
…& overwhelming,” but this Scam Impeachment was neither. Also, very unfair with no Due Process, proper representation, or witnesses. Now Pelosi is demanding everything the Republicans weren’t allowed to have in the House. Dems want to run majority Republican Senate. Hypocrites!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 26, 2019
The Radical Left, Do Nothing Democrats said they wanted to RUSH everything through to the Senate because “President Trump is a threat to National Security” (they are vicious, will say anything!), but now they don’t want to go fast anymore, they want to go very slowly. Liars!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 26, 2019
Nancy Pelosi’s District in California has rapidly become one of the worst anywhere in the U.S. when it come to the homeless & crime. It has gotten so bad, so fast – she has lost total control and, along with her equally incompetent governor, Gavin Newsom, it is a very sad sight!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 26, 2019
“Nancy Pelosi has no leverage over the Senate. Mitch McConnell did not nose his way into the impeachment process in the House, and she has no standing in the Senate.” Brad Blakeman. Crazy Nancy should clean up her filthy dirty District & help the homeless there. A primary for N?— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 26, 2019
I don’t think that reassures very many people that this person has control of himself, do you? And that’s just today. He’s been doing this non-stop since the day he was impeached.
