• Support For Trump Impeachment At Record High
    131 replies, posted
[quote]PPP’s newest national poll finds a record level of support for impeaching Donald Trump. [b]49% of voters support impeaching him, to 41% who are opposed to doing so. This marks the 6th month in a row we’ve found a plurality of voters in favor of impeaching Trump, and it’s the closest we’ve found to a majority.[/b] Trump’s approval rating has declined by a net 7 points in the last month. In September we found him at a -11 spread with 42% of voters approving of him to 53% who disapproved. Now he’s at -18 with 38% of voters approving of him to 56% who disapprove. Trump claimed last week that he had accomplished more in 9 months than any President in American History, but only 25% of voters believe that claim to 66% who do not, although it’s a notable measure of the ‘Trump cult’ that 55% of those who voted for him do believe he’s the most accomplished to 32% who disagree. Voters actually put his first 9 months in a very different historical context- 49% already say they think he’s the worst President in American History, to 43% who dispute that notion. By a 54/40 margin voters wish Barack Obama was still President instead of Trump, and by a 48/42 spread they wish Hillary Clinton was in the White House rather than Trump. Trump fares poorly on a number of metrics we tested in the poll. Only 37% of voters think he’s honest, to 56% who say he’s not. In fact a 52% majority come right out and say they think Trump is a liar, to 41% who disagree with that characterization. There are continued transparency concerns, with 60% of voters thinking he needs to release his tax returns to just 32% who don’t think it’s necessary for him to. And only 31% of voters think Trump has delivered on the core promise of his campaign to ‘Make America Great Again,’ to 60% who say he’s failed on that front. Trump is already in a very bad position when it comes to hypothetical match ups for reelection in 2020. He trails Joe Biden by 18 at 56/38, Bernie Sanders by 15 at 53/38, Cory Booker by 11 at 49/38, Elizabeth Warren by 10 at 50/40, Kirsten Gillibrand by 10 at 48/38, Kamala Harris by 6 at 45/39, and Frederica Wilson by 3 at 42/39. While the support level for the possible Democrats fluctuates likely based on name recognition Trump polls consistently in the 38-40% range no matter who he’s pitted against. It’s also interesting that the hierarchy of Democratic performance goes white men->black man->white women->women of color.[/quote] [url=https://www.publicpolicypolling.com/polls/support-impeachment-record-high/]Source: Public Policy Polling[/url] (rated "Least Biased" with "Very High" factual reporting by [url=https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/public-policy-polling-ppp/]Media Bias/Fact Check[/url])
Yeah, but around half the population still doesn't want him impeached so it probably won't happen at this point.
I'm certainly not going to be upset if Trump's impeached but my issue is Mike "fags in bodybags" Pence will come in with his fake politeness and do all the horrible policies Trump is doing but without tweeting mean things and the media will go to sleep.
What is it compared to others? (Nixon, Bush, etc)

[QUOTE=matt000024;52841724]Yeah, but around half the population still doesn't want him impeached so it probably won't happen at this point.[/QUOTE] not how that works?
Public support doesn't really matter, to remove a president you need 2/3rds of the senate.

Then there's the rest of the chain of succession...
Poll also shows that 75% of Trump supporters say the Russia story is fake news, and 79% say that if collusion did occur then he should remain in office.

At this point I'm pretty sure political consequences don't exist for Trump, or anybody he chooses them not to exist for.

The fact there's such an enormous portion of the population who approve of the job he's doing and who think he definitely shouldn't be impeached despite everything he's done and everything that keeps coming to light is just depressing.

I think we can all agree President Mattis would be the best outcome.
At this rate the damn Secretary of Commerce is going to become president

Pence might well be an accomplice

He's always been considered too hot for politics, no matter what his image in the military may be. That'd be a clear choice for Sanders.

My boss and I were at a customer's house, and she said "Trump will get things done" We both looked at eachother and almost laughed. Can't wait to tell him about this shit man, this is to good.
