This morning the RNC emailed some poll data on impeachment–or, rather, a report on the data, since the raw results were not included. So I take this “breakdown of internal polling” with even more than the usual grain of salt. Still, I hope it’s right. The GOP polling was conducted between October 1 and October 24, focused on 17 “target states,” and sampled 3,400 likely voters. This last point is important, as most polls count all registered voters, if not anyone who answers the telephone.
Despite Democrats’ Attacks, Support for President Trump Has Increased
* In our 17 target states, President Trump’s approval has increased by 3 points since Pelosi announced this charade.
* The President’s sky-high favorability among Republicans has actually increased, as well.
More Americans Want Joe Biden Investigated Than President Trump
* By a 5-point margin, more voters would like Joe and Hunter Biden investigated for their business dealings in Ukraine than support holding hearings to consider impeachment of President Trump.
* Since March, Joe Biden’s image has taken a 31-point hit among Independents. A strong majority now view him unfavorably.
Impeachment Not Popular In Target States
* In our 17 target states, voters oppose Democrats’ efforts to remove President Trump from office by a 14-point margin.
* Their support for hearings has dropped since the beginning of October.
* 70% believe this is “all politics” and would prefer Congressional Democrats focus on issues like health care, trade, and the economy.
Impeachment Not Popular Among Independents
* Independent voters nationally oppose Democrats’ efforts to remove President Trump from office by a 13-point margin.
I do think that word inevitably is leaking out that the Democrats’ impeachment drive is idiotic. That being the case, I expect to see more and more favorable poll results as time goes by.

So much winning. Can you stand it?
But but but Juan Williams keeps saying polls show Americans are in favor of impeachment.
My sense is most people see this circus and are pretty sick of it. It may be my own wishful thinks but it feels like the rats and their MSM cheerleaders are just turning people off. It’s just a feeling I have nothing more.
And the answer is that the poll is not partially, but entirely worthless.
Most Americans refuse to take calls from people not on their call lists, and of those who do take calls many assert that they intentionally lie to pollsters.
And.
Even if they had a way to filter out people who intentionally lie (they don’t) there is no indication at all that the positions of the people who remain to be polled corresponds in any consistent or forecastable way to the positions of those who refuse to be polled.
Economic pollsters as well as political pollsters are flying blind.
I know liberals that believe if Trump is impeached Hillary becomes President.
Maybe we are not losing, but we are not winning either. The potential is their for winning, but will the Republican party take advantage?
1) illegal immigration continues at a rapid rate, only a small portion of the wall has been built,
2) no important democrat has been arrested or brought to trial,
3) Sanctuary cities are allowed to exist,
4) Federal judge appointments have been reduced to a trickle,
5) Deep State is as powerful as ever, FBI, NSA, CIA, penetrated by leftists in key positions,
6) Government debt continues to rise,
7) Republican leaders in Senate love to talk, but do not act (other than spend more money), Romney and other Globalist RINOs are tolerated (if not supported) by the party,
8) The Press is fully corrupt with isolated exceptions,
9) Sedition against the state is rampant.
So in other words AMERICA is totally SCREWED!! Just saying!
This poll appears to be encouraging. Unfortunately, it appears to be an anomaly compared to other polls we’ve seen over the last month or so.
The anomaly isn’t the results, the anomaly are the questions and the responses. Most the other “polls” have questions that are based on ignorance and asked of people who are ignorant of the questions.
Ask an ignorant person an ignorant question and, obviously, you’ll get an ignorant opinion.
I’d like to think that the voters in 2020 will be voting with FACTUAL information, but sadly history doesn’t see to show that will be the case.
Hoping for the best, preparing for the worst . . .
Most Americans are at work (3.5%) unemployment, and the rest don’t have cable in their tents, or are otherwise sleeping off last nights drug parties before putting on their makeup for Halloween, the “funnest holiday of the year”. They are joyfully oblivious morons.
Williams also said only 42% of the voters approve of the president’s performance.
Mayan keeps repeating this lie so that the sheeples will follow.
Most liberals-and sadly some Republicans-dont understand this is a two-step process and that impeachment really does nothing but piss Trump off and guarantee he will expose all of this corruption during his trial in the Senate-which is certain to fall short of the 67 votes needed to remove him. Most liberals don’t understand that a vote to impeach doesn’t mean a thing in the long run-except their demise.
And sadly a lot of chicken littles around here fear this process as well-for some reason. I say “let it come.” Trump will burn them down to the ground during his scorched earth defense in the senate.
it feels like the rats and their MSM cheerleaders are just turning people off.>>>>>
You are absolutely right.
Trumps campaign manager, Pascale, has conducted attendee surveys at Trump rallies. He found that between 26% and 30% of Trump rally attendees are registered Democrats. The Dem party has become too radical for non radical Democrats and they are flocking to President Trump.
You bet that people are turned off, especially moderate Dems, so much so that they are going to Trump rallies.
The impeachment witch hunt is a machine which is creating millions of Trump supporters. Why end such a good thing?
I know liberals that believe if Trump is impeached Hillary becomes President.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
They need to know that even an impeached president can run for re-election. And an impeached president can indeed take office.
Maybe that would be too confusing for those Dems to understand though.
A poll out this morning here in Pa. by F&M University has 57% of Pa. voters support impeachment. I should point out that the person in charge of this poll, Terry Maddona, is a rabid liberal who on election eve of 2016 had Hilary winning Pa. by 8 points. Of course this latest poll was gobbled up by all the major papers here and breathlessly reported.
