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
@ameliatd Hi, great work! Does this control for fluctuation in party identification? In essence, could it be that more Republicans approve because there are fewer Republicans?
Thanks! We only asked party ID at the start, so no, we wouldn't capture fluctuations in party ID (though I'm not aware of evidence that fewer people are IDing as Reps now). But in this piece we only used people who responded to all waves, so non-response wouldn't drive change.
