Half Empty or Half Full

So, the latest poll in the impeachment process is out.

The poll asks the following question: Based on what you have read or heard, do you believe that President Trump should be impeached and removed from office, or don't you feel that way?

The results are exactly as they were when this same poll was taken in October - 50% of those asked responded that President Trump should be impeached and removed from office. It is slightly up from when the poll was initiated in June (42%). The same link for the poll results above shows comparison polls about President Barack Obama, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton.

No one is surprised at the lack of movement and everyone is doing their best to portray the result one way or the other. This is part of the reason why I think many (some, few - not sure of the right metric here) people don't seem phased by the impeachment process: they don't think it will make a difference in the end. Maybe it will, but I tend to agree with them. This is a dance with the result already decided.

So, is this result a glass half empty or half full for you. I am honestly interested in your view. What does this poll mean to you? Is 50% a good sign or bad sign?
