I don't think things revealed by investigations will drive Trump's approval rating much lower.

I've been driven inexorably toward these conclusions about the Deplorables:

1. They're untroubled by Trump's racism because they're racists.
2. They're untroubled by Trump's fascism because they're fascists.
3. They're untroubled by Trump's antisemitism because they're anti-semites.
4. They're untroubled by Trump's treatment of women as property because they believe women are property.
5. They're untroubled by Trump's lack of religious beliefs, because they don't believe either, not even the Evangelicals.
6. They're untroubled by Trump's connection with Putin because they want the world to be the way Putin wants it.

Even if he's impeached, convicted of crime and sent to prison, they will stick with him rather than admit they were hoodwinked by a fast talking con man.

it's shrinking, but I agree that millions of Americans will continue to be held in sway by it. The majority must engage to defeat trump and republicans and save democracy.
