Following impeachment, President Trump hits his highest popularity rating (Gallup poll). President Clinton, too, had a spike in his popularity after impeachment. The outlier to that pattern is Nixon whose impeachment was long, long time ago in a drastically different setting.https://twitter.com/NumbersMuncher/status/1224715109584506880 …

Kind of underlines how the real power was in the house hearings. Seems to validate critics who wanted a wider scope than Ukraine, since the outcome was ultimately "... yeah, he did that. So?"

Anything can happen! My point is that he emerged pretty unscathed. I think it's important to understand that reality.

Yes, I would have a wider scope also but the outcome would have been the same.

such an unserious position I have a hard time believing you’re serious. Piling all your eggs into one basket, ignoring averages, and ignoring the larger picture. The proceedings hurt vulnerable republican senators while further exposing trump. Other than that it was good.

How did it hurt those senators? Perhaps it may have hurt Collins. I put the averages back on the thread. Fair point this may be an outlier; but the rest of them show everything pretty steady.

I think you are right, Zeynep. The pattern is that every time the president escapes a scandal or bad behavior, it emboldens him. They will frame the story as "nothing was done wrongly" because of the acquittal. Details of his actions will get fuzzier. Time will tell.

I’m betting the absurdly limited articles had something to do with that, in addition to the escape from accountability. With no further prospect of impeachment, there is nothing left in the federal government to stop fascist tyranny. Only the people.

Unless the Democratic leadership drops propping up the empire long enough to actually fight fascism & impeach again, all corrupt officials on everythinghttps://www.dailykos.com/story/2019/12/17/1905920/-What-Rep-Pelosi-actually-meant-by-self-impeaching-and-why-it-s-important-now-ExpandTheArticles …

But the senate was hurt. And that may actually be more important
