The recent Fox News polls showing 51% of the American people supporting impeachment is clearly skewed with an outrageous 48% Democrats sample. But despite that, what else does this poll have to say?
Let's find out.
First, the impeachment question...
48. Do you think President Trump should be impeached and removed from office, or not?
| Dem | Rep | Ind | White | Black | Hispanic | Men | Women | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Yes | 85 | 13 | 39 | 44 | 76 | 64 | 44 | 57 |
| No | 9 | 82 | 47 | 50 | 15 | 29 | 51 | 36 |
| Spread | +76 | -69 | -8 | -6 | +61 | +35 | -7 | +21 |
NOTE: Independents do not support impeachment.
50+. Various impeachment opinions.
Higher score is worse.
| Opinion | Dem | Rep | Ind | White | Black | Hispanic | Men | Women |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Call to Ukraine President, impeachable minus inappropriate or okay |
+58 | -65 | -19 | -9 | +38 | +12 | -15 | +13 |
| Ask foreign leaders to investigate rivals, inappropriate minus appropriate |
+79 | -6 | +43 | +34 | +73 | +48 | +32 | +48 |
| Congressional Democrats believe impeachable minus just want to hurt Trump |
+69 | -70 | -16 | -9 | +51 | +23 | -12 | +16 |
| Congressional Republicans protect Trump minus believe not impeachable |
+74 | -35 | +12 | +14 | +55 | +36 | +13 | +32 |
| Trump doing what's best for him minus doing what's best for country |
+79 | -57 | +12 | +8 | +51 | +40 | +5 | +28 |
NOTE: Independents believe:
Also, women in this sample really do not like Trump.
2. Do you approve or disapprove of the job Congress is doing?
| Dem | Rep | Ind | White | Black | Hispanic | Men | Women | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Approve | 23 | 21 | 14 | 21 | 26 | 23 | 23 | 20 |
| Disapprove | 58 | 66 | 71 | 64 | 57 | 58 | 67 | 59 |
| Spread | -35 | -45 | -57 | -43 | -31 | -35 | -44 | -39 |
NOTE: No group approves of what Congress is doing (Independents have the largest gap between approvers and disapprovers). If so, then why do independents approve of Congress pursuing impeachment?
3. Please tell me whether you have a generally favorable or unfavorable opinion of...
This is "Favorable minus Unfavorable".
| Dem | Rep | Ind | White | Black | Hispanic | Men | Women | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Donald Trump | -79 | +69 | -23 | -1 | -69 | -26 | +3 | -26 |
| Nancy Pelosi | +50 | -68 | -25 | -16 | +21 | +16 | -12 | -1 |
| Adam Schiff | +24 | -42 | -7 | -10 | +2 | 0 | -10 | -4 |
| Mitch McConnell | -50 | +11 | -38 | -24 | -28 | -21 | -21 | -25 |
| Hillary Clinton | +46 | -76 | -33 | -27 | +40 | +4 | -24 | -4 |
| Democrat Party | +73 | -73 | -25 | -7 | +47 | +14 | -6 | +11 |
| Republican Party | -75 | +60 | -30 | -7 | -63 | -16 | -11 | -19 |
NOTE:
46. How troubling do you find the situation surrounding President Trump's dealings with the Ukrainian president -- extremely, very, somewhat, or not at all?
47. President Trump has made allegations about Joe Biden and his son's business dealings in Ukraine and China. How troubling do you find those allegations -- extremely, very, somewhat, or not at all?
Score is "Extremely" + "Very" - "Somewhat" - "Not at all." Higher is worse.
| Dem | Rep | Ind | White | Black | Hispanic | Men | Women | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Trump Dealings | +64 | -52 | -20 | -2 | +45 | +20 | -3 | +17 |
| Biden Dealings | -47 | +9 | -20 | -23 | -28 | -13 | -19 | -24 |
NOTE: Independents are not troubled by Trump's dealings with the Ukraine, and are equally unconcerned by Biden's dealings with Ukraine and China. Republicans are much less concerned about Biden than Democrats are about Trump.
The other groups show the skew in the sample population.
Even though the sample population is heavily skewed towards Democrats beyond historical trends, this poll still shows that Independents generally support Donald Trump.

Thanks for breaking this down and posting.
What day and time of day?
If they do it on a weekday during working hours ....
The sample has 48% democrats.
What’s the sampling for republicans and independents and “others”?
- the call to the Ukraine President was an not an impeachable act.
- Democrats are using impeachment to politically hurt Trump.
- Republicans are more motivated by protecting Trump.
- Trump's out for himself.
Where do they come up with that last one?
He's turning down $400k per ear in salary, and they think he's in this for himself? Dolts!
It's amazing how ignorant some folks can be.
The sample is: D-48 R-40 I-12.
Nobody believes that nearly half the country identifies as Democrat.

I believe the numbers show Shiff is less unpopular with independents than Trump, and the write-up is wrong on that point.
-PJ
I like the people who say he is sacrificing the kurds because he gets $100,000 a year in naming rights for a hotel in Turkey, while he is giving up a $400,000-a-year salary.
After the coming massive voter fraud, this weighting will be proved correct.
...and so it begins...
Also, that number should be -7, not -8. :-(
-PJ
Agreed...
I think these people are fed sound-bytes and haven’t a clue.
If you're president, why wouldn't you want to know.
The demoncRats seem to think they've found a new "get out of jail free card", all they have to do is run for office and nobody can investigate them.
Sure didn't see it that way when Trump was running.
Fox aka Faux News polls about as accurate as a $2 Rolex. They only tell how many folks polled but never give the split on number of Republican, Democrats or Independents responded.

IS FOX ABOUT TO BECOME CNN? Leftist Wives Of Liberal Murdoch Sons Blamed For Firing Of Bill O’Reilly…TRASH Trump On Social Media
Registered voters polls always lean heavily Democrats.
Sunday - many Christians don’t even answer their phone.
FNC polls are crap. Not just this one. It’s probably managed by the same bunch who do the FNC chyrons which are always Rat talking points. Insidious because when the sound is down the messaging is the same as CNN’s.
