The impeachment trial of Donald Trump was a risky electoral move that has blown up in the Democrats’ faces. Even if they weren’t able to dethrone him, their strategy was to poison public opinion against him. But according to Gallup polls, 53% of Americans were not in favor of the strategy.

Instead of resembling a criminal trial, the fiasco consolidated Trump’s position as the Republican presidential candidate for 2020. Not only did the Democrats ensure that the incumbent would be the Republican candidate even before the primaries, but with the impeachment trial, they also provoked a 4% increase in his popularity (to 49%). Currently, 63% of voters approve of how he is managing the economy. With these numbers, it will be quite tough for any Democratic candidate to challenge his reelection.





El juicio político a Donald Trump fue una arriesgada y electorera movida de los demócratas que se le revirtió. Ante la imposibilidad de destituirlo la ganancia era poner en su contra a la opinión pública, pero según Gallup el 53% desfavorecía tal pretensión. Más que juicio, fue el apuntalamiento de las primarias republicanas con Trump como candidato para un nuevo período. Y no solo que provocaron que fuera el candidato desde antes de que arrancaran las primarias de su partido, sino que el juicio lo dejó tan bien parado que su popularidad subió cuatro puntos (49%) mientras que el 63% de los votantes aprobaba el manejo de la economía, lo que se la pone bastante difícil a cualquiera sea el demócrata que rete su reelección.
