Congressional investigations can hurt presidents’ approval ratings—but they don't always. More, via FiveThirtyEight:
have found in their analysis of data on congressional hearings held between 1953 and 2014. In their book on congressional investigations, they found that when the party controlling the House wasthe president’s party, there were on average 37 more investigative days, and those hearings systematically lowered presidential approval ratings.
For instance, a month with 20 days of investigative hearings caused an approximately 2.5-percentage point drop in presidential approval; for a month with 40 investigative hearing days, presidential approval fell by around 4 points.The lesson here for Democrats is that investigations that unfold over weeks or months, rather than days, have historically damaged the president.
