Don't look now, but Nancy Pelosi and Adam's Schiff's impeachment gamble may be the biggest BACKFIRE in political history

Donald Trump is about 24 hours away from victory in his impeachment trial and new polling out from Gallup shows he’s at a “new all-time high”:

Thank you Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi! He couldn’t have done it without you:

Great job @AdamSchiff and @SpeakerPelosi!

To put things into perspective, Trump is +4 when compared to Obama at the same point in their first terms:

Gallup – Presidential job approval at this point in the first term:

Carter 58
Reagan 55
HW Bush 47
Clinton 52
W Bush 49
Obama 45
Trump 49

Trump is now ahead of Obama, tied with W and only 3 behind Clinton with 9 months to go until the election.

And all three won reelection.

This could go down as the biggest backfire in political history, and Dems will deny it to their last breath:

Democrats still won't believe this has backfired.
