“By 2-1, those surveyed say there are valid reasons to investigate Joe Biden and his son for their behavior in Ukraine”
Bad news for Quid Pro Joe… and it helps the Trumpist case that he had the right to ask Ukraine to look into the situation in the first place.
And 45% is too low to impeach… especially given the Dem congresscritters that will be needed to reach 50% +1 that need to win whose districts voted for Trump in ’16… and the GOP Congresscritters are not able to conduct investigations while the half-assed impeachment investigation is carried out.

Fox is now signed on to the Dump Trump movement. This is from Fox news legal analyst and a RR favorite Judge Napolitano.
““Is violating campaign finance law by involving a foreign government in an American presidential campaign an impeachable offense? Yes, it is.”
He said the president doesn’t seem to understand the laws he has sworn to uphold, and he argued that impeachment was the only remedy to preserve those laws.
“It was to remedy just such reckless, constitutionally destructive behavior that impeachment was intended,” Napolitano wrote.

I would think you would welcome each and every investigation and fully cooperate as long as there is nothing to hide…. which apparently there is a lot to hide. trump is not fit for the job. All the sees is dollar signs. He is a grifter and this is the biggest scam in the world.

In the “real world” category — Fox News senior judicial analyst and former judge Andrew Napolitano has this to say about the Ukraine scandal…Also note that trumpy today asked the Chinese to investigate Biden. He is a crazy man chasing windmills.
“That conversation manifested both criminal and impeachable behavior. The criminal behavior to which Trump has admitted is much more grave than anything alleged or unearthed by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, and much of what Mueller revealed was impeachable.”
If this is what Fox News is saying, just think how bad it really is.

Everyone, remember, the way Punch reports poll results doubles the amount of any movment. So 13 points means only a drop in approval from 53% to 47%… after a veritable blitz of Democratic Party stuff thrown into the fan.
The 53% is the highest Trump approval since the month he was sworn in, and 47% is still above where Obama was at this point in his Presidency.
