Trump campaign poll: Impeachment unpopular in swing districts
The Hill via MSN ^ | 12/17/19 | Jonathan Easley

A new survey conducted by President Trump's campaign pollsters finds impeachment is unpopular in districts carried by Trump in 2016 where Democratic lawmakers are seeking reelection.

The poll, conducted by Tony Fabrizio and Travis Tunis, surveyed 30 voters in each of 30 swing districts that voted for Trump in 2016 but elected Democratic House members in 2018.

The Trump campaign did not poll New Jersey's 2nd Congressional District, where Rep. Jefferson Van Drew (D) is expected to switch parties and become a Republican.

Overall, the surveys found that voters in those swing districts opposed impeachment by a margin of 53 percent to 43 percent. When voters were asked how they would feel if their representative voted to impeach Trump, 39 percent said it would make them more likely to vote for someone else, compared to 29 percent who said it would make them more likely to support the Democratic incumbent.

"These Democrats already knew they were in trouble before the sham impeachment, but now they are in serious jeopardy," said Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale. "By moving forward with her political theater of impeachment, [Speaker] Nancy Pelosi [D-Calif.] has accomplished two things - she has energized the president's supporters and walked her entire majority caucus off the plank."

At this point, I think even the biggest RATS really don't give a rip. Their voters will be concerned about 500 other things during the coming year.

That’s why they want the label “impeached” attached to Trump as soon as possible: the label will remain and gnaw at him (supposedly), but people will forget the details & damage done to get it there.

The Democrats know this.

This impeachment baloney isn’t about politics.

The Democrat leaders don’t care about losing House seats.

The Democrat leaders care about keeping themselves and their family members out of prison.

This impeachment baloney is a Democrat stall and smokescreen operation.

The Democrat leaders have committed crimes and they are using the Democrat Party as a shield.

If some young Democrat politicians see their futures destroyed, oh well.

There’s that damned 43% again. That’s the hard percentage of people that just screw the country up. As far the culture goes their power and influence is way out of proportion.
