How The Impeachment Hearings Are Playing

Now that day one of the impeachment hearings is in the history books, we ought to take a moment to see just how it was received by the American people.  The best way to do that is to look at the daily presidential approval numbers from the polls.  The Rasmussen poll is taken every day; it is the only daily presidential approval poll.  Each day the pollster published the numbers which are the average of the three preceding days.  That means that yesterday's polling, released this morning, was only 1/3 taken after the impeachment circus.  Here's the key, though.  Trump's approval number hit 52%.  That's up 3% from the day before.  Mathematically, in order for the results to go up by 3%, Trump had to poll 9% higher than he had just four days ago.

Think about that for a minute.  The president's numbers are up by 9 percentage points from where they were on Sunday.  In polling terms, that is an earthquake of major magnitude.  Trump's job approval is not a subject that is hitting the voters cold.  They all had an opinion last week.  These results mean that 9% of the American people switched from disapproval to approval, and the only major event during that time was the far left anger seminar put on by the Democrats in the impeachment hearings. 

It's also worth noting that Trump's approval is now at the highest point in over six months.  The last time it got this high was when the Mueller Report was issued and revealed that Trump was innocent of colluding with the Russians despite the non-stop accusations of the media and the Dems.

Look, maybe there is some sort of statistical anomaly at work here.  We won't know until we get further polling results.  If these results hold up, however, then it ought be clear to everyone that a large majority of the American people reject the Democrats Impeachment Circus.  Jerry Nadler and the Chorus of Angry, Left-Wing Professors turned off countless people (as they should have).
