The nearly impossible has now become a near certainty.
After weeks of choreographed indignation by Democratic leaders in Congress and “witnesses” offering no proof of impeachable wrongdoing; despite headlines and columnists screaming for his immediate ouster; and notwithstanding 24/7 attacks from media grumps still sore about 2016
President Trump is not only back in the game, but on his game.
impeachment is starting to give the president’s poll numbers a shot of political adrenalin … and his detractors a fresh jolt of reality.
Recent polling from Fox News confirms that the president’s job approval ratings (often a leading indicator of a candidate’s fate) have swung seven points to the good over the past six weeks. The thirst for impeachment has ebbed.
Most importantly, for those looking for what may lie ahead, the president not only bests every Democratic contender in the most recent national USA Today/Suffolk University poll (plus-3 over Biden, plus-5 over Sanders, plus-10 vs. Buttigieg) but in the all-important “battleground states.” The Optimus poll last week showed the president had taken a lead in a survey of three of these states (Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin), and that voters in all three now oppose the president’s impeachment and removal. This is political gold for President Trump because if he carries most or all of the battlegrounds (including Florida, Arizona, Iowa and Colorado), he will win again.
Going away.
Pollsters normally refer to this phenomenon as the “bounce,” an upward surge in a candidate or officeholder's poll numbers traceable to a special event like a State of the Union speech or a historic triumph like Operation Desert Storm.
Yet this emerging “bounce” isn’t emanating from a ticker-tape parade for a world champion, or a significant breakthrough for mankind, but from the consensus that we’ve simply had it with Washington.

The Democrats have impeached.
They will not remove.
What have they got left? They’ve fired their last bullet.
Time to buy more popcorn.
Swing and a miss, Nancy.
Thanks! I’m sure that the “concerned” are deeply saddened at this news.
And the leftwing base that thought Trump was removed will be angry at the Democrats.
I think the point is to deflect from the crimes the Rats committed, and it’s “Mission Accomplished”
Nobody like bullies.
im with ya there. I think its defelection from the upcoming minority reports on Hussein and fisa abuse
“Swing and a miss, Nancy.”
They know it too. I spoke to a media colleague and we both agreed the Dems are not happy. They were perfectly happy weeks ago to see a rigged, fabricated Deep State process take out President Trump.
Now, not so much.
Some even won’t speak a word about it, literally. They know it’s a loser after the fact.
That’s a shame. (Cue Seinfeld and the popcorn gif.)
Maybe she has been praying every day, just to the debbil.
Proof? What is this unobtainium of which you speak? Merry Christmas.
if she throws a fit, they must acquit
Yes. Deflection.
Conservatives and Patriots have various boxes mentioned here and elsewhere often: soapbox, ballot box, jury box and ammo box.
The leftists don't have as many boxes available to them. I can think of two, maybe there are others... Jack in the Box and the Surprise Witness Box.
All roads lead through bo hussein and the fisa courts
And this is FNC. FNC polling is the worst, the absolute worst. You can add at least 5 points to the good when you see their polls.

To an extent. They needed a story to knock Horowitz out of the limelight but this only delayed the inevitable and they can not use the threat of impeachment again.
They tried a million ORANGE MAN BAD stories, they tried Mueller, they tried impeachment. What could they use next that would have any impact at all?
