In a weird way I'm going to miss amusing pressers like this in 2021. They're entertaining just dont wanna see the leader of this country embarrass like this.

I'm more embarrassed at the gullibility and weakness of the Republican party. I thought they were a little better than this. Their hypocrisy and total disregard for the law says they may be ready to try anything to keep Trump in power.
There's no truth to the rumour it was actually the apple stand at the local farmer's market.

Dont worry, he has about 100 federal and state charges waiting for him when he loses immunity from prosecution.

Early impact of impeachment inquiry:
68% of Americans watched, heard, or read about the impeachment hearings.
Of those, 41% became more supportive of impeachment. Only 25% less supportive.

That poll tells very little on it's own. It needs to show the pre-existing political leanings of those watching the proceedings. My guess would be that it slants strongly Dem. That would make the 41% most likely Dems who already supported impeachment.
Hard to draw any conclusions without a breakdown of those watching though.

The testimony offered by David Holmes via deposition fleshes out a number of details and offers first-hand knowledge of a number of key points, which tend to undermine the R defense strategy.
What it really underscores is the corrupt intent and the direct involvement of the President, both of which the Rs are trying to wave away through obfuscation and misrepresentation.

The poll with a little thought actually says a lot.
Even if it does slant strongly (D), we are talking about Reuters here, right ? The Reuters same that said the first day lacked pizzazz
I see a 16% point gap, don't you ?
Otherwise look it up on Reuters/Ispos, contact them to air your grievance. Certain they will welcome your polling expertise

I have no doubt it's a real poll with legitimate methodology, it's just the results need context. They may even have context somewhere.
What I want to know are the demographics of people following the proceedings. Are Dems more likely to be tuning in?
If Dems account for 60% of the people paying close attention, a gap like that is not surprising at all. If political leanings of those tuning in mirror the larger population, the gap is significant.
I suspect more Dems than Reps are tuning in because I suspect Reps are more likely to write it all off as a sham.
So, getting political demographics among viewership isn't easy. But the ratings absolutely suck, 95% of the country is not watching live, and most of that massive majority is just getting their version from their preferred groupthink leaders. Which makes that poll mostly a moot point.

Then take a minute and look it up.
Curious now what you find
Last I checked Reuters was not on Soros payroll

From the Reuters article on the poll:
"Among those paying attention, 41% said the hearings had made them “more supportive” of impeaching Trump, while 25% said they had made them “less supportive.” That finding, combined with the overall lack of movement in public opinion regarding impeachment, suggests the hearings so far have mostly provided people with a rationale for their earlier support or opposition to impeachment."
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-impeachment-poll-idUSKBN1XP2CZ
So the poll found overall support for and opposition to impeachment unchanged. Since people aren't flipping opinions, it looks like people are confirming already held opinions.
I wanted to view the data but the link in the article wasn't working for me.

The most stunning statistic of the night is John Bel Edwards winning
nearly 91% of New Orleans. Democrats don’t get that high of numbers in Los Angeles or New York City.
