fter the first two public impeachment hearings, House Democrats say they are at peace with poll numbers showing their efforts haven't won over large swaths over voters.
“I think people would be very poorly served if they're counting on polls today," Virginia Democratic Rep. Bobby Scott told the Washington Examiner. "They'll change. You have to take a very deliberate approach. Do what you think is the right thing. And then whatever the polls say later on, they'll say, 'I don't think you can count on polls to be at all reliable.' More information is going to come out.â€
Since the House Democratic majority formalized impeachment proceedings, polls measuring the public’s support have shown a slight uptick in backing, but not significantly so. And a Nov. 8-9 Hill-HarrisX poll shows most Democrats believe that Trump will finish his term, ending Jan. 20, 2021. That marked a 7-point spike compared to the numbers of an identical poll in October.
