On Wednesday the House of Representatives is planning to vote on articles of impeachment.
Despite their arguments against President Trump, impeachment seems to be a losing matter for Democrats.
According to a new poll for USA Today/Suffolk University, not only is the issue of impeachment losing substance and support from the American people, but it also resulted in President Trump taking the lead above all of the other Democratic top contenders.
More from Western Journal:
Readers may recall that the liberal media seemed to take great glee in reporting polls over the summer and early fall that showed many, if not all, of the 2020 Democratic contenders would defeat Trump in the upcoming election.
But that was before Democrats went all-in on impeachment over the contrived controversy that is the Ukraine issue, in which Trump is alleged to have committed impeachable offenses like abusing his executive power and obstructing a Congressional investigation.
According to the USA Today poll of 1,000 registered voters, which was conducted Tuesday through Saturday last week, Trump now enjoys a 3-point lead over former Vice President Joe Biden — who remains the front-runner among Democrats — of 44-41 percent.
President Donald Trump’s job approval rating is also up six percentage points since the House Democrats launched their impeachment inquiry, according to a Gallup poll.
The survey found the president’s approval rating climbed to 45 percent from 39 percent.
This change in the polls occurred from the time that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) formally launched the probe.
This marks the third consecutive rise in Trump’s approval rating.
It also marks the fifth time his approval has hit 45 percent in his presidency, according to Gallup.
From Breitbart:
President Trump enjoys widespread support among Republicans — 9 in 10 respondents or 89 percent — while eight percent of Democrats said they approve of his performance.
The survey found a majority of respondents — 51 percent — are against the impeachment and removal of the president, an uptick of five percent since the inquiry was launched. Conversely, 46 percent of respondents stated they approve of impeachment and his removal, a drop of six points. A mere five percent of Republican respondents said they support impeachment and removal. Eighty-five percent of Democrat respondents said they supported the two actions. Further, Gallup found impeachment support has dropped with independents to 48 percent, down from 55 in October.
— Advertisement — The survey, which was taken with 1,0125 adults, was conducted between December 2nd-15th and possesses a margin of error of four percentage points.
The poll’s releases comes hours before the House of Representatives votes on impeachment, where the Democrat-controlled lower chamber is expected to approve two articles to remove the president — abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.
