FoxNews: 50% of Americans Support Impeachment and Removal from Office

[Tgo01]

Looking at one poll is pointless, fivethirtyeight.com, hardly a bastion of conservatism, has an interesting overall view at: https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/impeachment-polls/

There a couple of things interesting about this, one no majority either way about impeachment, second only 83.1% of democrats, yes I know, it s a lot, but its also 17% that say no, that's a REALLY big number in the scheme of things. Third only 42.8 percent of independents. Considering that races are won and lost on far closer margins, that is pretty telling. The 8.6% of republicans was actually a lower number than I thought given RINOS like Meghan McCain and Mitt Romney spreading their ilk.

What I also find interesting is they grade each poll, no idea how they come up with that data, don't really care, but even more interesting is how the individual polls worded the questions. You can get the results you want by wording polls in specific ways. Personally I think the dems have overplayed their hand, people are tired of 3 years of this, they want it to be over. McConnell might be giving them a gift if he just holds a simple vote the day the articles are sent to the Senate, assuming they are, and acquits and it is over.

Not a good sign at all for Democrats that more Democrats are against impeachment than Republicans are for.

It’s not if he’s going to get convicted or not( everyone knows he isn’t) it’s how much of those 66 votes he’s going to notch up. (aka how many repubs are going to join the dems) If >1 or 2, possible cracks in 2020. 3~5 , Trump should worry and perhaps re-assess his campaign. >5 and 2020 will turn against trump. Double digit... jail time.

Actually I stumbled across an article somewhere on that very thing and the assessment was 56 Senators would not vote to convict and some Democrats would cross over, it might have been on 538, not sure. Lest we forget impeachment is a political tool, not a legal one and the one thing the rats in DC love even more than they hate Trump is their jobs, their barely work, get payed lots of money in perpetuity jobs.

I have to agree on the latter points, they are basically paid to fuck around and troll each other. Like posting in the politics folder here just getting paid 200 grand.
