Rasmussen: 32% Favor Bush Impeachment

Rasmussen Reports ^ | December 15, 2005

[Arrowhead1952]

Who cares? I'm sure 32% of Americans would have voted for Dennis Kucinich has he been the nominee.

Thanks for the ping, txflake. #82

I was driving into Austin YESTERDAYand saw a "Dennis Kucinich for president" bumper sticker on highway 183.

Note to the left:

Your guys lost.

[Peach]

32% of the country are moonbats, up from 10% a few years ago.

[billhilly]

That same number would have been in favor of impeaching President Reagan. It is insignificant because they are democrats.

[Cheburashka]

Being hated by Democrats is an impeachable offense.

[Cheburashka]

I'd say that signing the admittedly-unconstitutional CFR in direct violation of his oath of office should be grounds.
---
I suppose I could support this if every congressman, senator, and judge that voted for or upheld CFR was removed from office at the same time.
And ONLY if that happened would I support Bush's impeachment.

[GOP_1900AD]

Half of the Dems are now complete Moonbats - that's my main take away. Let me rephrase that, half of the "Democrats" are complete radical Communist revolutionaries.

[okie01]

Here's the big question, though: why is this news? A minority of Americans believe that a sitting President should be impeached while there is no impeachment-related proceeding going on.

You pose a question; you already know the answer.

The liberal left is implicitly promoting impeachment on trumped-up charges. The liberal media is explicitly voicing the idea, in the hopes of turning a dim, mean-spirited perception into an angry, frothing reality.

Evidently, about one-third of this country is composed of alienated, disaffected and inconsolable bigots.

The "loyal opposition" is anything but...

[lexington minuteman 1775]

This only proves you can get the results you want depending on the questions and who hired you. These guys who hired Rasmussen want the President impeached. And even though at least 32% of the electorate is the hateful left wing in America, it does not an impeachment make.
What it does make is a sad commentary of the shallow minds of the American electorate who only think of today and not the future.
I would hope that Rasmussen is polled again if say a dirty nuke kills ten times as many as 911...Who will the American people blame, President? Congress? Themselves?

[COEXERJ145]

I have to call bullsh*t on this poll. 84% of Republicans are against impeachment, meaning 16% are FOR it? I really doubt that. Sounds like more poll-driven nonsense.

I doubt it is 16% but there are some "conservatives" who want the President impeached. Some even plan to campaign for Democrats in order to help them win the House. Just watch FR and you'll see them crawl out of the woodwork on a regular basis and no, they are not people who just signed up to troll the forum.

I suppose I could support this if every congressman, senator, and judge that voted for or upheld CFR was removed from office at the same time.

Or, to look at it another way, why would a jury whose members are mostly guilty as co-conspirators of the same "crime", vote to indict or convict?

[Torie]

This divided nation chat I guess has some real substance to it. Amazing.

[Soul Seeker]

Yeah, I believe this. I've always maintained the slight majority of the Dems base was a lost cause, while the slight minority was still reasonable. This is why you see the split on the war in their party. They still need the rational voters to win elections, but the irrational are now majority and get special attention from the leadership. If the rational abandon the party completely, Democrats would be dead politically outside of a few states like MASS.

However, there is another subgroup. Of the slight Majority that are irrational, you can cut that at least in half who are all talk and of no threat to anyone.

[F16Fighter]

I'd like to see the Rasmussen Poll on the pct. of Americans who feel John Kerry has been a traitor to his country...both in 1970 and 2005....

OR, the poll of Americans who feel Bill Clinton was a RAPIST....

[toddlintown]

They can stop Bush in the next presidential election.

[crasher]

Support for Clinton Impeachment never got all that much above that. I wonder what past totals would have been for Presidents who obviously had not committed Impeachable offenses.

[Porterville]

Bubba was impeached. Bush will be remembered as a king.

[demkicker]

Bush will be remembered as a king.

Not after what he did today. Hell, I want to impeach him now myself!

[Torie]

This is pay back for Clinton obviously. I was ambivialent about the Clinton impeachment myself.
