The EXEMPT Princes:
"FU America. We serve our beloved King
because HE made us, our staff and our families EXEMPT. "

We just talked about the HuffPo/YouGov poll, which is rather cut and dried. This Rasmussen poll, however is a bit different, as it gives voters different choices.
More people favor electing an opposing Congress [Republicans] than impeaching Obama, as a solution to the problem. This troubles me, simply because those folks must not have been paying attention as Obama has ignored Congress, and the Rule of Law, for quite some time. We already have proof positive that Obama will never follow the Rule of Law, and will continue to do as he pleases until he is removed from office.
The survey shows many worry impeachment will harm the GOP’s chances in November, and beyond. The survey also shows almost no one [a paltry 12%] support Speaker of the House John Boehner’s lawsuit against Obama.
There are also some interesting questions involving race.
There’s Support for Impeachment, But Most Like Electing A New Congress Better
Critics of President Obama have called for his impeachment and for lawsuits challenging his executive actions, but most voters nix both ideas. Better, they say, to elect an opposition Congress.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 32% of Likely U.S. Voters think President Obama should be impeached and removed from office. Nearly twice as many (58%) disagree and oppose his impeachment. Ten percent (10%) are not sure. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
By comparison, 39% of Americans favored impeaching Obama’s predecessor, George W. Bush, in July 2007, while 49% were opposed.
Fifty-two percent (52%) of voters believe it would be bad for the United States if some members of Congress seek to impeach Obama, and even more (56%) think it would be bad for the Republican Party if an impeachment effort is made.
Twenty-six percent (26%) say it would be good for the country if some in Congress try to impeach the president, while 13% say it would have no impact. Similarly, 24% feel it would be good for the GOP, but 12% think it would have no impact.
Fifty-five percent (55%) of voters say electing an opposition Congress is the better way for opponents to halt or change the president’s policies. Just 15% think impeachment is the better way for opponents to go, and even fewer (12%) favor lawsuits challenging the president’s actions like the ones House Speaker John Boehner is now championing.
But 61% still agree that people who oppose the president’s policies do so primarily because they believe the policies are bad, not because of racism. However, 28% now believe that opposition is due to racism, up from 18% in October 2011 and 24% in November of last year. Eleven percent (11%) remain undecided.
The survey of 1,000 Likely Voters was conducted on July 11-12, 2014 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology.
Opponents claim the president has exceeded legal bounds with some of the executive actions he has taken, and 44% of voters now think the president has been less faithful to the U.S. Constitution than most other presidents. Twenty-two percent (22%) feel Obama has been more faithful to the Constitution than most of his predecessors, while 30% say he has followed the Constitution about the same as other presidents have.
Fifty-eight percent (58%) of Republicans think the president should be impeached and removed from office. Eighty-seven percent (87%) of Democrats and 52% of voters not affiliated with either major party disagree.
One-in-three Republicans (32%), however, believe it would be bad for their party if some members of Congress seek to impeach Obama, a view shared by 77% of Democrats and 55% of unaffiliated voters.
Fifty-two percent (52%) of GOP voters agree with 53% of Democrats and 60% of unaffiliateds that electing an opposition Congress is the better way to halt or change the president’s policies.
Most voters now expect Republicans to win control of the Senate in the November elections, giving them full control of Congress.
Voters under 40 believe more strongly than their elders that a move to impeach the president would be bad for the country and bad for Republicans.
Seventy percent (70%) of black voters think people who oppose Obama’s policies are chiefly motivated by racism. Seventy-one percent (71%) of white voters and other minority voters by a 50% to 42% margin think instead that the opponents genuinely believe the president’s policies are bad.
Favorables for the new national health care law now tie the low for the year first reached in April.
A plurality (46%) of voters believes the Obama administration through its policies and practices has encouraged the flood of young illegal immigrants on the southern border.
Voters continue to rate the economy as their number one concern, but just 36% give the president good or excellent marks for his handling of the economy. Forty-four percent (44%) rate his performance in this area as poor.
These results trouble me a bit, because those surveyed seem to think the Republican Party, if in control of both houses of Congress, will actually do something to stop President Obama. Past actions by the cowardly GOP “leadership” tend to prove differently. Obama has made it obvious that the Rule of Law, Separation of Powers, and even the Constitution itself is meaningless to him. Only one course of action will stop Barack Obama.
This survey, along with the HuffPo/YouGov poll does give one hope. Obviously Republicans who care about our nation want this Marxist Devil impeached, convicted, and removed from office. Though the number of Americans over all is low, it’s significant enough that, if the case can be made to them, there may be a chance to persuade.
Those in charge shouldn’t look to polls though. Impeachment is the ONLY remedy for Obama, and the ONLY thing that will ever stop him. It’s not just about Obama either, it’s about upholding the Rule of Law and our Constitution, something every single member of Congress has sworn an oath to do.
That’s not enough.
The spineless senate is doing what it does best, kicking the can down the road until the next commercial comes on American Idol.
Begin with a subpoena of his so-called "birth certificate." - to be submitted to forgery experts for analysis.
No one has as yet refuted a single charge she made.
Not a single charge.
No.
Can we just concentrate on getting EXTREME control of the legislative branch and stop this major league disaster??
Impeachment will do nothing but rally the morons.
If the Clown were to hit Nixon like approval numbers (from December of 1973 until August of 1974, Nixon NEVER got above 30% in the Gallup approval), then MAYBE we could talk impeachment...but that is an extended period....and our time would better be spent shrinking government and increasing liberty.
Does it matter? Nobody is gonna do anything to the lyin’king. The macainiacs aren’t gonna step in that cow pie.
I just got a call from the rnc/gop-e lookin’ for money. I told the caller that there would be no donations coming their way due to the lack on actual conservative actions on the part of the gop-e. I also told him that I was not anti conservative but the gop-e ain’t gettin’ it for most of us. He said that isn’t the first time he’s gotten that response. May or may not make it to anybody’s ear but at least he knows there’s lots of PO’d folks out here and maybe it’ll get somebody’s attention. Or not.
I do not favor impeachment. I think it sets Obama up for martyr status. Some people will always say he didn’t have a fair chance, blah, blah, blah.
Let him fizzle all the way through his term like Carter did. Meanwhile, lets put forward a person of great conservative character and ability and vision to be the next president.

So what? Nothing we have liked or not liked has caused this congress to pay attention to us.
Besides, aren’t laws to be complied with no matter what we think? Not anymore. Let’s vote on taxes or take a poll on it to see if we want to do that. Won’t matter what we want. The politicians do whatever they want.
Greta made my eyes bleed. Humanitarian crisis my ass. It is an invasion. Fair and kind and all that crap have not got one thing to do with ILLEGAL entry into any country. Where are the fair considerations to the taxpayers?
Now we know why the Mainstream Marxists went after Palin so hard. They saw this a week ago and these numbers are likely cooked.
Pray America wakes up
I’ve got something for them. It would wipe those silly grins off their sick sorry faces.
Demented, drunk and punk. Not worth warm spit.
If I were as hated as much and by as many people who hate these politicians I’d have the good manners to just go away.
I agree and have been saying that for a long time. first things first. Hearings to examine evidence and make the case for the voters. It doesn’t matter what the Senate does. Screw them. Thus the best case outcome is impeachment without conviction since the Senate will never convict even if Pubs won the Senate this fall. so what? Get it in the history books and do their duty.
If this poll WERE accurate then one would expect approximately 58% of House republicans to be calling for impeachment. That clearly isn’t happening.
He’ll really know he’s in trouble when the percentage of people that voted for him want his impeachment.
There would be more if the msm would just report the news straight up.
It would be nice if a unicorn took me to work in the morning. But neither one is going to happen.
32% sounds like just about hardcore baseline support. If all we’re getting is base support, it probably isn’t going to happen. The numbers just aren’t there.
Wake me up when that 32% doubles - then we’re ready move out.
