At the end of our 4-month panel survey, @ameliatd and @LikhithaBu interviewed some of the participants to get a better sense of how they felt. The answer?
"We’re divided. We’re stuck. I knew that before impeachment, but it’s even clearer to me now."https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/impeachment-didnt-change-minds-it-eroded-trust/ …
After Trump's acquittal, some Democrats became more disillusioned -- more said impeachment was a bad use of time, fewer said senators were impartial, and fewer said they thought impeachment would hurt Trump's reelection chances.

Meanwhile, Republicans consolidated behind their party and their president; the share of people who approve, and especially of those who strongly approve, of the way Republicans and Trump handled the impeachment process went up.pic.twitter.com/L44hS0mRWc
And while the share of Republicans who strongly disapproved of how Democrats were handling the process started out high (67%) and stayed there, the share of Republicans who strongly disapproved of Democrats caught up over the course of the 4 months.pic.twitter.com/gtdoAOUAZj
Overall, Americans of both parties say their trust in the political system has decreased as a result of impeachment. "Democrats, Republicans — it’s starting to feel like nobody has ordinary working people’s interests at heart," one respondent said.pic.twitter.com/dLewfMVGEB
I don't care about changing minds. I want them on the record. I want this documented for posterity. Impeach Trump again and again and make the GOP defend his actions over and over.
I don’t think impeachment eroded trust so@much as the NEED for it. Don’t Blair the messenger.
Time for another Impeachment and new facts!
Can you tell me where you got the peach artwork for your latest article "Impeachment Didn’t Change Minds — It Eroded Trust"? It strongly resembles the album art for Bankrupt! by Phoenix. I was wondering if there was some style it was all based off of or something.
Viewed from abroad, the Dems did the right thing in terms of defense of values.
The party of "Jamming your penis down the 22 year olds throat is fine, even on calls to foreign leaders. Felony perjury is okay, because it was about sex too" defending values? Next: Bill Clinton does a lecture tour about "Marital Fidelity". Charlie Sheen does "Good Citizen".
