American Values Survey takes voters' pulse on Trump, political climate

MGB:_I would have liked to have seen the age and strength of support cross tabulations on Trump voters. Are young Trump voters true believers or opportunistic? As for the older supporters, who is likely to die first, Trump or his harcore base. What about the Bernie bots? Are they different or the same on values with the older Clintoites? The best data is always below the level reported. The sturdiness of support by Trump voters makes some Republicans safe while others are less so. If The Democrats find enough marginal districts, they could win. 

Of course, if Muller finds enough to get the House to act on impeachment, anything could happen in November. It took two months between the Starr report and the impeachment resolution and that included an election where voters punished Republicans at the polls and they went forward anyway. Don’t look for an impeachment trial next year. Trump may resign, but Democrats, if they are strategic, will wait for a Democratic Speaker (maybe Clinton) to remove Trump, hence the possibility of resignation (assuming Trump can put party before ego).
