It’s hard to determine where to start a political discussion these days. Impeachment? The Democratic presidential-nomination contest? President Trump’s prospects for reelection?
The calendar can help guide us, as can a slew of new and highly regarded polls, which touch on all three of those storylines. Sunday marked the point when the 2020 election was exactly a year away. Iowans will head to their caucuses in three months and Super Tuesday, with about a dozen states holding primaries, occurs precisely one month later.
When looking at public opinion on impeachment, it is best to focus on the question of whether a respondent is in favor of impeaching and removing Trump from office or opposed to impeaching and removing. More-nuanced questions, like whether a respondent supports the impeachment inquiry, simply confuse the issue. CONT.
