We all know there's such a thing as a push poll. We also know that a heckuva lot of pollsters get their results wrong.
Nevertheless, here's an unwelcome Fox News poll result being reported as news and being flashed, at least at first, in red letters at the center of the page on the Drudge Report:
Just over half of voters want President Trump impeached and removed from office, according to a Fox News Poll released Wednesday.
A new high of 51 percent wants Trump impeached and removed from office, another 4 percent want him impeached but not removed, and 40 percent oppose impeachment altogether.

Gone as in fired or suspended?
Don’t use the word “fudge” when talking about Shep.
Right on!
Thanks.
“Don’t use the word ‘fudge’ when talking about Shep.”
OH!! I didn’t think. LOL.
“We all know you’re...”
Blah, blah, blah.
Don’t us “we” as if you are a patriot, conservative, or can speak for anyone other than the troll you are.
It’s easy to see from your posts throughout.
You don’t know me. And it will remain that way. If you leave this forum no one will miss you or wonder where you went, just like in life.
