Down to 37% (5% drop in last week).

52% support impeachment, 36% approval rating and these polls were taken prior to the Comey testimony.

Both intelligence committees also have a majority of Republican members. Jon can argue his way through, around and over this, but the fact of the matter is that the Republicans, not the Democrats, have control of this investigation, including the appointment of the independent counsel. I know it is difficult for some people to imagine that a man who has openly lived a life evidenced by corruption, adultery, cheating and vice, and not only doesn't care, but brags about it, would actually be under investigation after becoming President of the United States, also in a corrupt, "beat the system" kind of way involving at least one foreign government, but that's the reality we live with right now. Keep the blinders on, Jon. Wouldn't want to disturb your desert fantasy. It's probably a good thing you're in the UAR. Truth might actually work its way into your mind if you were over here.

Of course, when polling data doesn't go your way, then the polls are wrong, they oversample Democrats and liberals, they are taken in California not Nebraska, yadda yadda yadda. But the fact of the matter is that independent polls like Quinnipiac and Gallup, and some of the ones which contract with news services and show up in composite sites like RCP, have a record of impeccable accuracy. Both of those mentioned were virtually 100% correct on the eve of the 2016 election, along with the major networks and CNN/USA Today. State by state, margin of error fluctuates a bit because of the size of the electorate, but Quinnipiac in particular hit within their margin of error on the presidential race in every state, including the three that gave Trump the electoral college with fractions of a percent. The margin of error in Pennsylvania was 5%. They picked the senate race within a fraction of a point, and the outcome of the presidential race by less than 2%. Same in the other close states. They were right on with the popular vote, picking Clinton by + or - 3%. So if one of those polls says the President's job approval rating is 35%, and his disapproval is 58%, you can take that to the bank. Otherwise, go find proof that they're wrong, or sit down and be quiet.

Predictions (conditional, notice the ifs):

If as is that Trump may fire Mueller and he does so, Trump's approval rating will dip.

And if much of the public watches the , that will also drop his approval rating.

Not a lot, maybe down to 20-30% (we have a lot of duped people in this country right now).

And then the question becomes, how low can a President go?
