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 …

Sure. But it also means he didn't gain much ground in the early months of his election year. Those months are thought of as monumentally important in establishing a baseline for re-election. That's a bad thing. I'm not saying impeachment was a W or L for Ds. Its complicated.

We kinda need different metrics for Trump. If you engage with someone privately in my area, they'll talk about how they disapprove of Trump. Yet, those same people are in the "approve" category when they want their voice public. Tribalism is weird shit.

I don't think "losing ground" was the point at all. It was to lay out the case to the public. He did lose ground DURING the impeachment, as witness after witness exposed his corruption.

But it's also 4 months of failing to gain ground (per the average). DJT's polling average, in this economy, is that of someone who'll lose. He needs it to rise, but in the 4+ months since the inquiry began, among voters it went from -8 to -8.3.

He had 13 months to improve; now he has 9 months, and he needs to improve a bit more. On a purely strategic basis—as far as we can see right now—it was bad for him.

@TPM made the case that with numbers this small it could be response bias. Will be interesting to see what happens when House turns to financials. Reminds me a little of Bush around 2004.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
