Adam Goodman: Impeachment bounce – Trump attacks backfire on his political foes
By Adam Goodman | Fox News
The nearly impossible has now become a near certainty.
After weeks of choreographed indignation by Democratic leaders in Congress and “witnesses†offering no proof of impeachable wrongdoing; despite headlines and columnists screaming for his immediate ouster; and notwithstanding 24/7 attacks from media grumps still sore about 2016, President Trump is not only back in the game, but on his game.
Unpredictably, and unnervingly (for Democrats, anti-Trumpers, liberal loathers and others trapped in serial denial), impeachment is starting to give the president’s poll numbers a shot of political adrenalin … and his detractors a fresh jolt of reality.
Recent polling from Fox News confirms that the president’s job approval ratings (often a leading indicator of a candidate’s fate) have swung seven points to the good over the past six weeks. The thirst for impeachment has steadied or ebbed.
