Donald Trump is once again trying to gaslight the public with a looming impeachment by citing poll numbers that don’t seem to exist. Contrary to Trump tweeting that support for his impeachment is “dropping like a rock,” that’s not factually correct. And you’ll notice that the only polling Trump ever cites is Rasmussen, and they just aren’t a credible source. Trump typically just throws alleged poll numbers out there without linking to a source.
“Support for Impeachment is dropping like a rock, down into the 20’s in some Polls,” Trump tweeted. “Dems should now get down to work and finally approve USMCA, and much more!”

And again:
“Poll shows Dems losing interest in Impeachment inquiry all across the board. These Polls are actually devastating to the Democrats. But the writing was on the wall. He’s done so many great things. He’s devastated ISIS & killed AlBaghdadi, building Wall.” Jason Meister @FoxNews

Trump is fake news. Anyone can Google his claims but only his rabid, firebreathing, lint-licking supporters take him at his word. And that explains this:
The poll confirms what Pelosi and top Dems had been expecting: A big shift in public opinion after hearings was highly unlikely with views so polarized. https://t.co/0z6eIdNfQk

CNN’s Ryan Struyk also weighed in to provide a little history lesson that should terrify Trump.
Should be impeached and removed via @CNN polling:
Clinton, 1998:
29% impeach
67% don’t impeachBush, 2006:
30% impeach
69% don’t impeachObama, 2014:
29% impeach
70% don’t impeachTrump, 2019:
50% impeach
43% don’t impeach— Ryan Struyk (@ryanstruyk) November 26, 2019
We’re not sure why the public was polled on impeaching former President Barack Obama, though. We knew about Clinton lying about a consensual blowjob, but the only impeachable offenses that triggered conservatives that I can remember are that he used fancy mustard once, and wore a tan suit. Also, he was presidenting while black.
