Congressional Republicans earn higher approval ratings than Democrats after impeachment: Poll

The impeachment of President Trump didn’t boost approval ratings for congressional Democrats.

According to a Gallup poll released Tuesday, approval for Republicans in Congress surpassed that of their Democratic colleagues, with the parties earning 40% approval and 35% approval, respectively. Republicans had trailed Democrats in this poll for several years, and it has been more than 15 years since either party has exceeded 50% approval.

Impeachment seems to have played a role in Republicans surpassing Democrats in the poll. Republicans gained 6 percentage points in their approval ratings from October to February while Democrats lost 3 percentage points, gaining 5 percentage points in their disapproval polling. Trump was impeached in the Democratic-controlled House in December and acquitted by the Republican-controlled Senate in February.

Polosi says to Trump, "you are impeached forever!" Trump tells Pelosi, "Thank you. Anything else you can do for me?"
