Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) These impeachment polls are very mysterious and confusing. Until you look at the details, that is. – The increasingly-trending-left Fox News came out with a “bombshell” new poll on impeachment Wednesday which Bret Baier solemnly told us shows that 51% of those polled favor both impeachment and removal from office. Baier further said that is an increase of 9% over an earlier poll taken before any of this nonsense about Ukraine broke. Which basically means that every leftist nitwit in the country has always wanted him impeached and removed, which should surprise no one.
This seems pretty strange since the President’s public approval rating in this poll and basically every other poll is essentially the same as it was in August. So, I decided to go take a look into the bowels of the results and guess what I discovered? Fully 48% of this poll’s sample identify as Democrats. This despite the fact that recent polling by Gallup and other organizations show that less than 30% of the U.S. population now self-identifies that way. 40% were Republicans, despite recent polling by Gallup and others showing that less than 30 of the actual population self-identifies that way. That leaves just 12% of this sample taken from the vast middle of the country that identifies with neither party.
This poll is trash. Garbage. A fake poll taken simply to create a fake news story for Bret Baier to parrot. Fox News is almost all the way achieving its goal of becoming CNN.
Ok, so, let’s go on to the poll from The Wall Street Journal/NBC released on Tuesday. This poll claims to find that 43% of the public favor “supporting [Trump’s] removal based on what they know today,” according to the linked NBC article. Yet, when you go take a look at the details of the findings, here is what you actually discover: When asked whether there is “enough evidence to impeach Donald Trump and remove him from office now,” just 24% in the poll’s sample say “yes.”
TWENTY-FOUR PERCENT.
Another 31% are in favor of holding “an impeachment inquiry to determine of there is enough evidence” to remove the President from office, because Americans just love their investigations. Fine.
But look at how absurdly NBC has misrepresented this poll’s actual findings to the public, simply to create a “news” story that might attract viewers and clicks to its website. It’s a disgrace.
One big difference in this poll as compared to the Fox poll is that it has a more reasonable partisan breakdown of 30% Democrat and 25% Republican, with the rest of the sample basically independents.
These are just two of the most recent of dozens of polls taken on the impeachment and removal questions, and when you look closely at the entire group of them, what you find is that this Democrat/Media coordinated anti-Trump frenzy over the innocuous Ukraine phone call as moved public opinion towards removal from office by maybe 2 or 3 percentage points.
Meanwhile, the President’s public approval rating as measured by the RealClearPolitics average of polls sits at 43.6% approval, slightly above his average for all of 2019.
This is not remotely what the Democrats and their media toadies were hoping to achieve here. Not at all.
They’re gonna need a bigger hoax.
That is all.
The rest aren’t any better than Ryan.
Fox is no TRUMP supporter; however, they do enjoy the high ratings and MUST keep him in the spotlight in order to keep those numbers. A quandary, we're certain, but eventually leading to BREAKDOWN.
Garbage polls from a garbage network.
I have been suspicious of the Fox Polls for quite awhile. Now my suspicions are confirmed.
Would the American people support an unconstitutional impeachment where the accuser is anonymous? Where republicans are not allowed to subpeona deep state actors and democrat traitors?
What the f is this piece of garbage poll!!
And to see Drudge parading it around. That dude is a disgusting fake news narrative bearer - truly growing as a disgraceful demoralized sodomitic.
People are bombarded by unwanted robo calls and sales calls from strangers. Most sane people when they receive those calls have been conditioned to just hang up. Think about it. If you received an unsolicited call from a stranger and were asked to share your political opinions, would you?
“Fox must really hate Trump to abandon a successful business model.”
I think Fox is setting the left up.
“All I know is they put Paul Ryan as board member.”
I do sometimes watch “Fox and Friends”, but recently it has been less and less. I guess Fox News wanted to keep CNN company, because that is where they are headed.
One American News = Globalists. Big time.
If you cannot get OANN. Try fox business
Or they are just reporting what their poll said.
Not everything is 4D chess.
I’ve been wondering just how much these polls are spoofed beyond the percentage sampling based on party affiliation.
For this Fox poll, if I read it correctly, they sampled 40% Republican. My sister is a Kalifornia Republican and hates Trump. She’s been fed propaganda for decades and talks like a democrat but still claims to be a Republican and voted for Schwarzenegger.
My point is, if Fox and others identify areas where Republicans think like democrats, then they could get by with getting their opinions knowing full well most prefer impeachment.
Once you start thinking about it, there are probably countless ways to spoof approval or impeachment numbers.
These polls are just ways to create news and sway opinion. Nothing new here.
“Not everything is 4D chess.”
Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
That’s your opinion, it is not a fact. They show global news, one of the few outlets does that...but there is no globalist idealism.
OAN producers are Free Traitors™ all the way. The make no bones about it. They hate tariffs and are on China’s side. Just watch it for a little while and you will see it.
there’s a war on at Fox and let’s hope the right side wins.
Polls pretend to measure peoples’ opinions. Instead, they are an imperfect summary of a few peoples’ emotional response to a question that they were not expecting.
Fox is owned by Disney...'nuff said.
Stirewalt. Now you have evidence.
Reluctantly, one suspects that the poll is essentially accurate due to the barrage of negative coverage that has been directed at Trump. The delays in the Horowitz report and the rumored indictments by Durham also hurt, as does the lack of a “war room” to combat negative coverage.
