It’s anybody’s guess.
That’s almost what happened to Clinton in 1999. On the Obstruction of Justice count, 50 senators voted to convict - 50 senators voted to acquit. Not enough to convict. Had the vote been 51-49 it still would not have been enough to convict.
Clinton’s overall Approval Rating increased as a result of the Lewinsky - Impeachment scandal.
I don’t think a similar outcome would hurt Trump and it may help him.
Indeed. It is disgraceful that the elected members of the GOP have become what they are currently. Where men of principle, who place their oath to the Constitution, the country, and the rule of law, are forced out of the party. It would be nice for the party to return to what it once proclaimed loyalty to. But alas, their oath and fealty are to a man now.
Actually Clinton’s approval went down as a result of the impeachment which was done in January/February 1999.
BTW - Trump probably has nocturnal emissions at the thought of getting to 66% approval like Clinton when he left office or even 60% when he started his second term.

Anyone who this would affect knows they’ll be hunted down and politically scorned for the balance of their short, remaining career and then…Trump will be reelected.
It would be interesting to see the polling on that especially in the swing states. My guess though is that Trump has a better chance at winning than Pence.
His numbers will always stay the same plus or minus 2 or 3. Hes got a love hate relationship with the us. You either hate or love him not much in between
The answer is no, it would not be significant. The Republicans who might possibly vote to convict are already considered Rinos and have been through several elections. They still manage to be re-elected in spite of their defiance of Party unity. Some Democrats, however, might benefit by voting to exonerate Trump.
