During the heyday of American vaudeville, the answer to the question “Will it play in Peoria?” determined whether a show would be a hit or a flop. It was generally understood that if the production wasn’t acceptable to those in heartland America, there was no chance it would succeed anywhere else in the country. So how is the Nancy Pelosi vaudeville production of “The Impeachment Follies” starring Adam Schiff and his merry mélange of marionettes playing in Peoria?

The New York Times and Sienna College, 2018’s most accurate pollster, took a poll of voters in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Florida, North Carolina, Wisconsin and Arizona. These were the closest states in the country that cast their votes for Trump in 2016…Just 43% of voters in these six states want to impeach Trump and remove him from office. The majority 53% do not. This means that the margin for not impeaching Trump in these states (+10 points) is running well ahead of Trump’s margin in these states of 1.5 percentage points. Put another way, impeaching and removing Trump is not a popular position.

The voters did not mention Ukraine, the alleged quid pro quo, Rudy Giuliani or any other key details about the House Democrats’ impeachment inquiry. Instead, the focus groups expressed concerns about the unfair process and the fact that the inquiry is a distraction from other issues. Some salient points:
