The impossibility of matching Trump’s impeachment polling against Nixon’s

I’ll admit that I’m a bit flummoxed by the current political moment. I like to look at numbers, to get some sense of where things are by looking at where they’ve been and what happened when they were there before. So the current push to consider impeaching President Trump is tricky: There just aren’t enough impeachments to compare it to.

Not that I’m looking for presidents to be impeached all the time. But imagine trying to forecast the weather on the third day of Earth’s existence. Maybe today will be like yesterday? It’s … sort of hard to say. CONT.
