According to a Fox News poll a majority of registered voters want Trump impeached and removed from office. This is not good for Trump.

How is this going to play out?
Meh. I think it needs to hit 65% before it means anything. Just my completely unsupported opinion.

Meh, just the fact that an institution that Trump holds dear for support is against him is a very big deal. Denying or playing it down does absolutely no good.

This isn’t good news for Trump. In these last 3 weeks, things have been going extemely downhill for him and his presidency.

Well, I think we are reaching the plausible public support level in regards to impeachment.
If polls remain at this level or increase, I would be prepared to move forward with impeachment.

What institution?
20 Senators are not going to vote yes on conviction because of 51% across the voting public. That’s never going to happen.
FOX is now fake news.

What about conviction?
Why do you think that is?
That would involve moving forward to Senate trial.
If during the course of that trial the charges are proved, then I would support removal from office.

And frankly, I think this may be the political cover Senate Republicans need to actually vote to remove Trump from office, something I think all 51 of them secretly would love to happen at this point.

I was wondering what you thought the poll needed to be for Republican Senators to have the necessary electoral cover to vote yes on conviction. My completely unsupported number is 65%.

I think 55% or above, which I think we will be at very soon given the recent increasing self destruction at the White House.

Thanks. This answered my question. I think it needs to be much higher.
What Republican Senators want privately has absolutely nothing to do with what they will actually do.

Interesting. Thanks.
And I suppose it was a fake poll.
What do I think what is?
ETA: I think I know what you mean now. The voting public? Yea, I guess kind of an institution. But there could not be two presidents more different than Obama and Trump and that institution elected both of them in the span of 4 years so it’s kind a schizophrenic and notoriously unpredictable institution.
It wasn’t a poll of Fox Employees, it was a poll conducted by FNC of the general public.
What do you think of the poll?
I’m not particularly concerned.
