December 15, 2005--Thirty-two percent (32%) of Americans believe that President George W. Bush should be impeached and removed from office. Fifty-eight percent (58%) take the opposite view.
However, just 30% of Americans would be more likely to vote for a Congressional candidate who promised to work for the impeachment of Bush and Cheney. Fifty-two percent (52%) would be less likely to vote for such a candidate.

The Rasmussen Reports survey of 1,000 adults was commissioned by After Downing Street, a coalition working "to pressure both Congress and the media to investigate whether President Bush has committed impeachable offenses in connection with the Iraq war."
The number who support impeachment is very similar to the 33% who believe it is impossible for the United States mission in Iraq to succeed.
Thirty-five percent (35%) of Americans believe Vice President Cheney should be impeached and removed from office.
The impeachment of President Bush is favored by a plurality (49%) of Democrats. However, it is opposed by 84% of Republicans and 55% of those not affiliated with either major political party.
Democrats, by a 47% to 28% margin, say they are more likely to vote for a candidate who supports impeachment. Eighty percent (80%) of Republicans are less likely to do so.
Unaffiliateds, by a 46% to 29% margin, are less likely to vote for a candidate promising to work for impeachment.

For what?
Do you know how many supported Clinton's impeachment?
The same percentage also believe that OJ was innocent, and that Elvis is alive.
Over 40% I believe.
Easy numbers to get when you only poll in Greenwich Village.
For being Bush.
Results show a strong correlation to fetal alcohol syndrome and mental redardation.
talk about push polling
I'd bet you could get 32% to favor just about anything. This is not a surprising figure. If you pick the right area, I doubt if 32% could even read the survey question. I think it would be extremely interesting to do a survey and see if the 32% could define "impeachment".
its pretty sad that 32% of americans dont know what the definition of impeachment is.
Well, we know that Democrats make up around 41% of voters, so, what's striking is that 32% of them are made up of the fringe kook squad.
Because the lefties in congress keep spouting it and the press keeps covering them. Other than that, there is no good reason.
no surprise, the highest percentage is from those earning less than 20K and age 18-29.
In other words LW moonbat college students.
(Actually, there are probably some tin-foil-hat wearing liberals who don't actually believe he was impeached!)
impressive
68% DO NOT favor Bush impeachment!!!!!
