For the casual observer (or enthusiastic partisan), a new poll from CNN / ORC International reveals a staggering point of data: one-third of the country, 33 percent, supports impeaching President Obama. That's 100 million people (if we extrapolate those attitudes to children and so on)! Can he survive?
Yes, he can. As CNN itself points out, that figure is in line with public support for impeachment of Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton during their time in office. In August 2006, a CNN poll found that 30 percent of Americans supported impeaching Bush. And in September 1998, 29 percent supported impeaching Clinton. A Post poll from that December had the figure even higher, at 39 percent.
There's a good footnote to that data which we will get to in a second.
You will not be surprised to learn that attitudes on impeachment break down along party lines.

It’s very sad and discouraging that the country refuses to utilize a process that the Founders of the Constitution provided for us to deal with presidents like 0bama.
47% think “impeachment” has something to do with fruit.
The republicans won’t have a majority in the senate until January of 2015 at the earliest. There is no chance of removing Obama before a republican senate majority is seated. Impeach Obama and you could be getting the longest democrat administration since FDR.
