In a hyper-partisan era, political affiliation matters in just about everything — even business confidence. (via CNBCMakeIt)

relative to Democrats. Over the course of 2019, our quarterly survey results point to several instances of small business owners reporting opposing business conditions that are likely based in partisanship rather than balance sheets.While the impeachment process has been making front-page headlines for several months now, it has only accelerated in recent weeks.

Some business owners may simply see impeachment inquiry as a distraction — just something else that prevents real work from getting done in Washington. Or, those who foresee more extreme consequences may see Trump's potential removal from office as a threat to the regulatory, tax, and trade policies that they support. Small business owners' expectations around those three factors all improved mildly quarter over quarter in these latest survey results.

In this quarter's survey, one in five small business owners in the U.S. say they anticipate a material impact on their business as a result of Brexit — of course still without knowing whether Brexit will actually happen or what form it will take when it does. Similarly, in national polling from that time, the month-long shutdown proved to be very unpopular with Democrats and independents. A January NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll of the general public found taken right before the government shutdown was resolved found 86% of Republicans approving of Trump's job — compared with 5% of Democrats and 39% of independents.
