The Democrats’ push for impeachment has begun to have the opposite effect they hoped for. With the 2020 race quickly approaching, voters are actually shifting from their original preference of Democrats and showing a favorable bias of President Donald Trump.
An IBD/TIPP poll was released Monday and indicated that many voters are opting for President Trump over top Democratic contenders.
The survey was conducted by IBD/TIPP, and taken among 905 adults between December 5 and 14. The results show the impeachment effort is ultimately backfiring as far as the 2020 election is concerned.
Joe Biden is the only Democrat who’s numbers are higher than Trump’s in a general election match-up, with 50 percent to 45 percent.
Nevertheless, this shows a 5-point upshift towards Trump, who was originally down 10 points back in November, 43 percent to Biden’s 53 percent.
More from Breitbart:
The trend remains relatively consistent among other candidates. The poll shows Trump edging out Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), for example, by one percent, or 48 percent to 47 percent. In November, however, Sanders led Trump 51 percent to 44 percent.
The December poll also showed Trump beating Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) 49 percent to 44 percent. That also reflects a dramatic shift from November’s results, when Warren led Trump with 52 percent to Trump’s 44 percent.
The results follow a contentious month fraught with political debate on the Democrats’ partisan impeachment inquiry. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), along with key committee chairs, announced two articles of impeachment against the president last week. The House Judiciary Committee approved the articles on party lines, and a full House vote is expected this week.
