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.

“Vote fraud is what worries me.”

It’s a real concern. But, if the Dems somehow pull this off, we can always IMPEACH, right? Just becuase we don’t like the outcome.

I mean, that’s what they’ve been showing us/telling us for three YEARS now! ;)

P.S. It’s gonna be a blow-out for Trump. There is no doubt in my Military Mind!

All they have left is trying to convince the public of their plans to help the middle class. Lol. They better start with something besides taxing them to death.

Still your 45th President, Donald John Trump, raised a record breaking about in the hours following impeachment. 4 million that day and another million immediately after the vote.

TRUMP has to be paying off the Democrats for them to be continuing with this charade.

Apparently Smartmatic is a real company. Sounds like a satire.

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.]]]

This needs to be repeated - so see above again

which is good

the worse trump looks the better it is

that’s what will get the lazy voters out.

all those people that say trump will win by a landslide are discouraging to many of his fans who will assume they do not need to vote.

How many are owned or counted by Soros or his companies?

that’s what the problem is with voting machines.

Juan Williams on Fox like to quote the very dubious Fox polls, because they are skewed to be against Trump, and the Fox on-air characters are not allowed to question those polls.
