It really shows how this impechment thing is another political own goal by the democrats. After all of this in a poll which shows them beating Trump with no less than 46% of the vote, only 46% support removing him from office.
I imagine there are some underlying reasons behind the "low" remove number. Obviously the GOP has no alternative considerations to make, so they will all say no to removal. Democrats, however, have varying viewpoints on this. Certainly not a huge number, but you have people like me who would be against removal for tactical reasons (believing it's better for the downballot for him to be in office in November; Atlas mindset - def not a lot in this category) as well as people who consider how much more effective and potentially awful somebody like Pence would be if he assumed the presidency.
Long story short: in the
spirit of what the impeachment proceedings embodied (i.e. Trump is a felonious cretin who needs to go), I'd be surprised if a nominal majority didn't actually agree with removal - there's just a small segment of people (3-5%) who oppose it for the above-mentioned reasons.
