or so says a new poll released by Monmouth University.
Monmouth Poll
I'm not offering this as proof of anything nor am I certain about the poll's accuracy or even whether or not it's meaningful. If the poll is accurate, however, it points out a significant difference between public opinion and the opinion of the majority of the Democrats in the House.
I've been waiting for a while now for some kind of popular backlash over the sheer amount of money and time the Democrats have devoted to ousting Trump. $17 million or so spent on the Mueller Report, countless hours of testimony in front of various House and Senate Committees, millions of dollars spent while one branch of the government sues another branch of the government, and who knows how many other millions devoted to hiring investigators to look into one thing and another. And there's no end in sight. What does seem certain is that lacking far more serious charges or evidence than exists now, it's likely that even if the House impeaches Trump the Senate won't remove him from office.
Coming after a couple of weeks of teeth gnashing over the deficit this whole thing is beginning to look like a huge financial waste.
