We keep hearing about how the impeachment of President Trump was a bust and is going to help him get re-elected. Recent polls contradict that belief. A majority of Americans believe that Trump should have been impeached, that the Senate trial was unfair, and that he was not exonerated of any wrongdoing. The only tiny positive for Trump is that it is 49% to 49% as to whether he should have been removed from office. If I were Trump, I would not take comfort in those numbers.
As you may know, the articles of impeachment were based on President Trump’s actions involving Ukraine. Do you think that the Senate voting to acquit President Trump clears him of any wrongdoing in the Ukraine matter, or don’t you think so?
Yes/Clears him 40%
No 55%
Regardless of the Senate’s verdict, do you think the charges against President Trump were serious enough for him to be impeached and put on trial, or would you say the charges were not serious enough for him to have been impeached and put on trial?
Serious enough 51%
Not serious enough 46%
Do you think that the Senate impeachment trial of President Trump was conducted fairly or unfairly?
Fairly 35%
Unfairly 59%
As you may know, the Senate has voted to acquit President Trump of both articles of impeachment, which means he will remain in office. Do you approve or disapprove of the Senate’s decision?
This may affect votes in November…people tend to not to forget about these things… time and time again you see people wanting things to be fair, even towards the president.
Mitch may have screwed up here.
Another poll released today shows similar results. Essentially, people believe that impeachmnet was warranted, Trump did something wrong, and the Senate trial was unfair.
