(53,410 posts)Most Americans are barely beginning to get wind of this. And what they do hear is confusing. They think it will all blow over as soon as he throws more children in cages, or kisses Putins ass, or any number of things.
If this has legs it will get their attention.

(25,487 posts)April: 39% support, 53% oppose
Today: 49% support, 46% oppose
That's a 17-point swing toward impeachment.

(35,701 posts)The sentiment for impeachment will go up - way up. This is an easy story to understand. Not like the Mueller report at all.

(3,697 posts)information from the hearings are known. These numbers were solely about approval to START impeachment proceedings. If we get to 25% of GOP approving that will be a good result. Those still calling themselves republicans are mostly hard line Trump supporters who behave like cult members.
