Impeachment Bounce – Trump attacks backfire on his political foes (critical polling up +7)
Fox News ^ | 6 hours ago | Adam Goodman

Posted on 12/24/2019 9:25:08 AM PST by powermill

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.

Want change?

Demand the break up of Comcast and ATT.

These two telecom companies are forcing the scripted lies and hatred upon the public.

Vote fraud is what worries me. ***

Yes that is the issue we need to fight.

I think Hillary got millions of votes that were fraudulent.

Non citizens, Soros machines, vote harvesting and ANSWER and more. dead dems vote in large numbers.

It will be even worse in 2020 election.

Sadly the eGOP will NOT fight vote/voter fraud.

They are afraid of the rath of the left, which might be blackmailing them.

google, twitter and facebook are also trying to guide the narrative and are doing a good job of it.

censoring conservative facts and groups and individual.

Google is said to have been responsible for the direction of millions of votes in 1916 and will try to do even more in 2020.

Maybe this election Soros will cheat votes in Trumps favor and then the cheating County Recorders ( who got Obama over the top) will expose to the media that the election was tampered in Trumps favor

The modern Democrat , socialist party has backed themselves in a corner now the GOP has stood together. Pelosi thought she could pressure some Republicans to impeach, and then say we have Bi-partisanship.
All they have left now is embarrassment, and a plan to losing more seats in both houses.

Ok great, but I constantly see “shock polls” elsewhere with Fox that show a majority of the masses want Trump impeached.

What to believe anymore.

Gorka: Democrats Turned to Impeachment as Their ‘Platform of Extremism’ Made Them Un-Electable in 2020

Former Deputy Assistant to President Donald Trump Sebastian Gorka told Breitbart News on Thursday that because the Democrats now “have a platform of extremism,” they know they are unable to win in a fair election, which is why they’ve turned to impeaching the president.

Gorka told Breitbart News on Thursday that the crime President Trump has committed was defeating Hillary Clinton, “and they’re never going to forgive him for that, so they’re trying to nullify the will of 63 million Americans in 2016.”

Breitbart News caught up with the former White House aide on Thursday, after he addressed thousands of young conservatives at Turning Point USA’s fifth annual Student Action Summit in West Palm Beach, Florida.

“Let’s not forget,” said Gorka, “nineteen minutes after I became deputy assistant to the president — after my boss put up his hand and was sworn in as the 45th president of the United States — the Washington Post wrote an article saying the impeachment of Donald Trump starts now. They’ve been working on this, my friend, for more than three years.”

“Truth be told, this is an infamous day, this is a very sad day,” added Gorka of impeachment, “because the damage the Democrats have wrought to the second-greatest power congress has — after declaring war in another country, which is the removal of an incumbent president — that damage may take generations, if not longer, to heal.”

Unless the Dems can get the witnesses that have been told not to testify. I still want to hear what Bolton has to say that got him fired.
