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.

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.
survey of 1,000 adults
So 320 nut jobs think President Bush should be impeached. Note to nut jobs ..... we had an election last year and 62+ million says he stays Yaaaawwwwnnnnn
LET FREEDOM REIGN!!!
This doesnt surprise me. This same 32% would get in Kennedys car and take a ride across a narrow bridge.
They are the Lemmings of the Dem party.
In other words LW moonbat college students.
Lagniappe: guess which group of eligible voters is least likely to vote?
32% are complete and utter morons. So what else is new?
It illustrates what a bunch of nutcases the Dems are.
It's a very bad polling question.
If they went to any Congressional District and asked "Do you think Congressmen Smith (whoever) should be forced to resign because of ethical violations", you'd probably get a quarter saying yes, even if Congressmen Smith was the cleanest politician in the world.
The pollster has given the respondents the implicit message that Bush has done something worth impeachment. If you asked those who said yes "what should Bush be impeached for?" a good chunk of them would change their minds and say that he should not be impeached.
32% of the population of theis country believes that Geena Davis is actually the President.
Pretty sad when 32% of the country are crazy moonbats that should be committed to straight jackets and a funny farm for the rest of their lives.......
It depends how the poll frames it's questions. I.E. "If President Bush lied the country about Iraq should he be impeached".
First impressions of this article is distturbing.
Why is this "push poll" done when the Iraqi elections are happening and Bush's approval is on the increase?
I believe you just answered your own question.

Don't those weiners realize what they would get if W was impeached? Dick "Big Time" Cheney. I'm pretty sure the VP would govern to the right of W if installed as the head rock. Perhaps they would rethink their opinions if presented with that fact. Oh wait, that would require the capacity for intelligent thought...
Why don't they just say that 35% of the country hates Bush?
