Juan Williams: Midterms will be referendum on Trump

[DonViejo]

BY JUAN WILLIAMS, OPINION CONTRIBUTOR — 05/28/18 06:00 AM EDT 850 THE VIEWS EXPRESSED BY CONTRIBUTORS ARE THEIR OWN AND NOT THE VIEW OF THE HILL

With less than six months to go to the midterm elections, Republicans think they have Democrats in an impeachment trap.

Seventy percent of Democrats in recent polling from Quinnipiac University say they will vote for a midterm candidate who plans to impeach President Trump. But 84 percent of Republicans say they’re ready to oppose any candidate planning on impeachment.

And overall, the Quinnipiac polling shows 55 percent of voters don’t want Democrats to begin impeachment proceedings.

An April NPR/PBS/Marist survey found 47 percent voters would "definitely" vote against a candidate who campaigned on impeaching Trump while 42 percent said they would “definitely” vote for the candidate who ran on impeachment.

So, with the president’s consistently low approval ratings and a record number of retirements, desperate Republicans have fixated on the threat of impeachment to fire up GOP voters.
