If the country doesn't overwhelmingly support impeachment for this clear and obvious crime then we are lost.

7. +1 This is a very significant shift, and seems to align with other polls.

Be patient - it takes time to penetrate the consciousness of the public (those who aren't Fux-watchers). Fux-watchers will only learn about the impeachment after it's over and President Pelosi addresses the nation.

Most Americans are barely beginning to get wind of this. And what they do hear is confusing. They think it will all blow over as soon as he throws more children in cages, or kisses Putin’s ass, or any number of things.

If this has legs it will get their attention.

changing the minds of rumpublicans. The Independents as reported, offer some hope.

6. Here's where that same poll had it in April

April: 39% support, 53% oppose
Today: 49% support, 46% oppose


That's a 17-point swing toward impeachment.

The sentiment for impeachment will go up - way up. This is an easy story to understand. Not like the Mueller report at all.

It's not how many Republicans are in favor of impeachment when the hearings start that matters.

It's how many Americans are in favor of impeachment when the hearings FINISH.

12. Those Numbers Will Begin to Shift Among Independents and Less So With Republicans When

information from the hearings are known. These numbers were solely about approval to START impeachment proceedings. If we get to 25% of GOP approving that will be a good result. Those still calling themselves republicans are mostly hard line Trump supporters who behave like cult members.

I've read polls showing support for an impeachment inquiry in the mid 30's - so this is progress .
