A Quinnipiac University poll Tuesday carried this striking top-line number: 64 percent of Americans believe President Trump committed crimes before he became president. And 45 percent say they think he committed crimes while serving in the Oval Office. History suggests that committing crimes — even as president, and even if they are numerous — may not be sufficient in the minds of the public. In both cases, about half the country shrugged off obstruction of justice and perjury, even if they were proved. It’s quite possible that the impeachment bar for Trump will be lower, even if it’s not registering in polls just yet.
