Impeachment actually gave Bill Clinton a boost.
It is too early to impeach Trump. The right time may come after House and Senate investigations and after the investigations by SDNY and the ongoing investigations stemming from the Mueller investigations and after Trump's financials are obtained and reviewed.
Trump obstructed justice for a reason. Follow the money. Russia, Saudi Arabia and other governments may have kompromat on Trump. At present how do we know they don't?
It is difficult to believe that Trump suddenly stopped his lifelong mafioso behaviors the day he was nominated. If it is provable that he didn't and hasn't then his popularity - which has never been at even 50% - will drop even lower than it is now, which is 43%. The Senate may suddenly then find the cajones to support Trump's impeachment.
If the Dems can get solid evidence on Trump's illicit activities, rather than info provided by the Russkies, more power to the Dems.
However, though you find it unlikely that Trump would've ceased his illicit activities upon becoming President, I think it's possible that he did rein himself in (for once), aside from short-lived flirtations with money-making like the Russian hotel project.
