Overall, the majority of Americans still support removing him from office.
So you want people to accept a subjective opinion from you based on your instinct/bias while you dismiss or ignore subjective opinions from AZ, Flaggy, etc. that are based on their extensive experience and business knowledge?

No. I just wrote what I think but can't document. I haven't seen any polling that would get to the question. There is a view that impeaching Trump will increase his chance of getting re-elected. It makes sense, I think, to think that there are people out there who are opposed to trying to impeach him for that reason. But I'm not claiming to have data showing that to be the case.
My own preference would, for instance, be for the Democrats not to impeach him because we know the Senate will not convict. I would like to see the Democrats go through the process then say, "We think we've shown that Trump SHOULD be impeached and removed from office but we know the Republicans in the Senate have no integrity and won't remove him from office no matter what. So we're not going to waste the country's time."
At the same time, as a matter of absolute opinion, I think it's very obvious that he should be both impeached and removed from office. It's obvious that he did what he's accused of and it's just as obvious that it was an offense that SHOULD, if there were any integrity in the Republican Party, be removed from office.
But there is no integrity in the Republican Party right now.
