I couldn't find numbers for Collins either, but here are Mitch's:
RCP average:
Favorable: 29.0; Unfavorable: 46.7
I haven't been able to find "favorable" ratings for Collins. Her approval rating is currently lower than Moscow's.
Little bits here & there influence elections. Pelosi with Ukraine/Impeachment managed to move popular opinion to remove Trump by 10-15 pts. And it has stuck, not receded. That alone may be enough to sink Trump in November. Anything that budges the Indies a few more points would seal the deal! How do we know this impeachment with all it's variances and unknowns doesn't move them a couple of points more?What is it with all this optimism? Am I the only curmudgeon on the site? The stooges will ignore this completely. And there are a hell of a lot of them. That's the optimistic take. The pessimistic one is that they'll all chase some stupid new conspiracy theory about how Hillary and Obama are at the root of all this and out to get their poor picked on hero.
Trump didn't even care about the investigation. He wanted the announcement on CNN. It was all P.R. ...Trump did not care about "getting" Biden. It was an investigation like Hillary had that he was after. He's not too bright and thinks "lock him up" would be just as good as "lock her up" was in 2016. Biden is as innocent as Hillary and that made no difference to his supporters or you most likely. Biden was the front runner for the nomination from the moment he announced to the present. Even a dunce like Trump can see he is a real threat.
OMG!!! To be clean there would have been no reason to ask for investigation if Biden was not obviously corrupt and had not already admitted to taking $50k a month in just one of his operations.
English, please.

As a matter of fact, during the Obama administration, several foreign heads of state had their cell phones spied on by American intelligence services, not just Merkel's. I remember that at one point a head of state (I don't recall who) was so outraged that an official visit to the White House got cancelled.
Real life is a bit more intricate than us vs them.

Back when the Ukraine president said that there was no "quid pro quo" you liberals laughed and said.................yeah right!
Now that the same Ukraine president offers up a investigation that might favor your argument............he's your guy!
Your party all are such hypocrites.
wrong of course, Trump and Biden were merely implementing long standing foreign policy: military aid for anti corruption. Get it now??

It makes you wonder why it had to be hidden unlike when Biden got the corrupt prosecutor fired and he made a big deal of it.
BS.....LOL
Liberals laughed at the guy earlier. Now they are hoping he finds something.
Hopefully not. I used to respect her, and like her enough. She often sounded like a voice of reason back in the day. Now, I can't wait to put a Dem in her Senate seat.She's been mealy mouthing bull**** for a while now, trying to please her constituents and Trump. Not gonna work.
How can the Parnas interview not? It's all supported by emails, texts, notes, etc. Trump was in on it. Barr was in on it. Pence was in on it. The Executive Office is being run like a criminal organization, complete with numerous low level "mobsters" going to jail.
But we knew this (lying) way back before the election, during his campaign. If I could see it, I expect most others could as well.He is a non stop liar. The events of the last few days show how much of a liar he is. I support impeaching him. He should be removed from office. How can this country trust anything he says?

And I pretty much saw a Constitutional crisis (though not necessarily impeachment), the graft (though not to this degree), and the disastrous foreign affairs taking us to the edge of - or into war (cf Iran).
But I did not see the economy chugging along. I missed that completely. Between Trump and the long growth cycle under Obama, I figured we'd never make it past Trump's first term without a downturn. With the Dow crash at the end of '17, I though we were there. Then again last summer, as manufacturing and other indices came to a screeching halt. But here we are chugging along, despite being in a manufacturing recession and trade war! Pretty amazing! A solid decade of growth!
Are you asking who bankrolled them? It was Dimitri Firtash. Unless you mean, who did Firtash front for? Then yes, that would be interesting to know.As with most of these "oh wow" stories there is so much less than supposed, and possibly MORE than imagined. Almost certainty these two guys were hapless members of the criminal crew for the Ladykillers, plotting and scheming "secret agents" who stumbled through the affair with more bravado and tall tales than real substance.
My bet, like so much about these characters, it is mostly email bragging and lurid fantasies. For all the contrived hype, in one respect its a nothing burger. HOWEVER for the Ukrainians and the US there is one aspect that could be very interesting: WHO was the Ukraine official that hired this clown crew and WHY did he/she loath the US ambassador so much.
THAT will be the real story...
I very much agree. And it will be interesting as hell, to hear.Zelensky seems to be an honest, strong leader. Once Trump is gone (or maybe sooner), I expect Zelensky to come clean publically.
I use 538's aggregate polling, too. I was referring to his removal numbers, as I stated in my post:I don't know about that Chomsky. I use the fivethirtyeight consolidated polls as my go-to metric, and Comrade Trump's* numbers look pretty stable.

Yep. The documentation is stupefying. I called it, when Ukraine first broke. Not that it gives me any happiness. We've got a criminal organization running the government, sure as ****!How can the Parnas interview not? It's all supported by emails, texts, notes, etc. Trump was in on it. Barr was in on it.

Unless one of our three-letter-agencies opens a case, we may never know.Yes...the Ukrainian official that wanted these clowns to get rid of the US ambassador was unnamed in the indictment. So one wonders where the chain ends in the Ukraine?

McConnel can't let Trump take a hit. Not in political terms. Not in legal or investigative terms. The whole thing can come tumbling down. The first guy I'd like to see rot in jail, after Trump, is Devin Nunes.
