John King: Impeachment Hearings Didn't Incite More Americans To Favor Impeachment

APTOPIX Trump Impeachment — Former Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch is sworn in to testify before the House Intelligence Committee on Capitol Hill in Washington, Friday, Nov. 15, 2019, during the second public impeachment hearing of President Donald Trump's efforts to tie U.S. aid for Ukraine to investigations of his political opponents.

CNN's John King joined Boston Public Radio on Tuesday for a politics roundup and to discuss the percentage of Americans who favor the impeachment of President Donald Trump.

"If you're the Democrats, you might be a little disappointed that you didn't move the bar because right before the hearings, in our poll, 50 percent of Americans said the president should be impeached and removed from office. And after the two weeks of hearings, 50 percent of Americans said the president should be impeached and removed from office," King said.

"That's not good news for Donald Trump to have half the country thinking you should be impeached and be removed, but if you're the Democrats, you did not move the bar, you did not win over more people during those two weeks," he said.
