Here’s why the impeachment polling isn’t moving

The impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump has had little impact on public opinion. In late November, just like in October, 50% of Americans wanted to impeach and remove Trump from office in CNN/SSRS polling. Moreover, Trump’s approval ratings remain in the low 40s, and impeachment really hasn’t shaken up the Democratic race for president.

The lack of movement in the political environment may render a news junkie (perhaps you, the person reading this article) with a loss for words. Here’s the deal, though: Persuadable voters on impeachment aren’t paying close attention to the impeachment proceedings, and impeachment is a low priority for voters overall. CONT.
