“I do think that this polling, is sort of a warning sign for them. I mean, if they’re not able to move public sentiment at all with those five hearings with … a dozen State Department or [National Security Council] officials coming forward and testifying against the president,” Bade told CNN. “I mean, that’s a problem for them. I mean, this should be a high point for them in terms of making the case to the voters.”

Polling has shown that both independents and Democrats have started to lose interest in impeachment.
The Nixon and Clinton impeachments both began with an actual high crime or misdemeanor (a low-level break-in followed by a high-level coverup, lying under oath and obstruction of justice) which the appropriate congressional committees looked into to determine if the offenses were impeachable. The Trump impeachment began with congress looking around, hoping to find a crime — and coming up with bupkiss.
