Who cares what Republicans thought of Clinton? His approval ratings with everyone else were stellar during/after impeachment, in part because the Rs impeached him in the first place. It was backlash.

Besides, you cherry-picked one number. Look at the numbers again - look at the trend.

20s-30s with Rs for the nine months before impeachment; 20s-30s after impeachment.

His last poll result with Rs: 39%, barely lower than the one number you fixated on.

I know what point you think you're making, but the numbers don't agree with you. In fact, the overall approval ratings undercut your argument almost entirely.
