Just days before the House of Representatives is expected to vote, President Donald Trumps approval rating is at its highest point ever and a slim majority of voters remain opposed to impeachment, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released Monday.
Voters views on impeachment remain unchanged from last weeks poll, when 51% of voters said that Trump should not be impeached and removed from office, while 45% said that he should be impeached and removed. That poll was the first time since the inquiry began that more than half of registered voters indicated opposition to impeachment.
The poll was released the day the House Judiciary Committee released its report on the impeachment inquiry, in which it laid out its argument that Trump abused the power of his office. A House debate and vote on impeachment will likely occur Wednesday.
A 50-year low unemployment rate coupled with stocks hitting record highs are adding up to a rosy view of the economy and voters feeling optimistic about their own personal finances. That view of a strong economy seems to be helping President Trump match his highest job approval rating since being elected, despite facing becoming the third president in U.S. history to be impeached this week, said Quinnipiac University Polling Analyst Mary Snow. ...

6% is a rout, if not a landslide.
Polls are crap. Never believe them. Most Conservatives don’t do polls.
Polls are worthless to use in any meaningful way to “measure” peoples intent and real feelings
Son’t believe me, just look at the polls pre-election between Trump and Hillary and the outcome
Get the picture?
So posting them especially the group you chose is worthless and no real indication of anything
JMHO but there it is
BTW Trolls love polls
They do not and cannot have a representative sample to start with.
Thats exactly what I thought. 1 or 2 percent is slim, not 6.
If its 6 point in Quinnipiac, then its 8-9 points in reality, at least.
I’m sure the media will fix that.
This can’t be right. Fox had banner up all weekend that 50% want Trump impeached and removed and another 4% want impeachment only.
Polls are fake, and will have no impact on how legislators vote on impeachment.
The Republicans in both the House and Senate will be rock solid against impeachment, not because of polls, but because the Democrat case is abysmally weak. The Democrats have nothing.
Some Democrats will cross over and vote with Republicans against impeachment for the same reason.
Yes, they care what their constituents think, but they dont rely on fake polls for that.
A ‘slim majority of 6%’ would be a large margin if the subject was liberals vs conservatives.
When youve lost Quinnipiac....
...”slim majority”.....
lmao.
After finally seeing the internals, it’s a D+5 sample. Which is skewed, but not nearly as much as most polls on this subject which I have seen at extremes like D+15.
Normalize these results and there’s a solid, beyond margin of error majority against impeachment.
Every media poll is at least 10% oversampled Rats. Every stinking one.
Methodology Interviews were conducted December 8-11, 2019 among a random national sample of 1,000 registered voters (RV). Landline (221) and cellphone (779) telephone numbers were randomly selected for inclusion in the survey using a probability proportionate to size method, which means phone numbers for each state are proportional to the number of voters in each state.
"proportional to the number of voters in each state"
This starts out with 110 out of 1000 calls going into kalifornikator and leaves only 89% to come from the rest of the nation.
What would be more revealing would be the results from california as a stand alone poll.
Today's polls are structured to provide the outcome that the pollster wants, and make it appear that it is "fair".
It's like playing '3 card Monte' and there are 3 Jack of Spades and no other cards.
I thought I heard that a Fox poll had it reversed....OAN gonna take over as the true Fair and Balanced News source in ....3.....2.....1....bingo!
