Polling gurus like FiveThirtyEight's Nate Silver have been quick to point out in recent weeks that former Vice President Joe "Biden’s numbers haven’t declined at all" since the Trump/Zelensky phone call story first broke. But new state and national polls released this week show the cracks in Biden's support wall are now causing the wall to crumble.

2020 Democratic presidential candidate former Vice President Joe Biden visited Iowa over the weekend along with several other Democratic candidates stumping for votes just days ahead of tonight's Democratic debate. As expected, a hot topic of discussion was the Democrats' impeachment inquiry and President Trump's allegations that Biden engaged in quid pro quo by way of using his position as vice president in 2016 and a billion dollars in U.S. loan guarantees to have the Ukrainian prosecutor fired for investigating Burisma Holdings. Biden's son Hunter sat on the Burisma board member at the time.

The Second Circuit Court of Appeals put on hold a subpoena issued by a federal that demanded President Donald Trump turn over his tax returns. Earlier on Monday, U.S. District Court Judge Victor Marrero of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York gave the Manhattan District Attorney's office to subpoena the returns from Mazars USA, an accounting firm.

One thing we can safely conclude at this point is that the current impeachment push is not about the content of Trump's phone conversation with Ukraine's president Zelensky or the "whistleblower" report, although the Democrats and NeverTrumpers will probably continue to pretend it is, at least for a while.
