The politics of impeachment
A poll by NPR, PBS NewsHour and Marist released on Monday finds that — after three weeks of public hearings — Americans’ views of impeachment are virtually unchanged.
"It's like the hearings have never happened," said Lee Miringoff, director of the Marist Institute for Public Opinion. "The arguments have only served to reinforce existing views, and everyone is rooting for their side."
Tuesday on MPR News with Kerri Miller, we talked about it. How are you taking in the impeachment hearings, and does the political rancor harm the legitimacy of the proceedings?
