Conservative poll shows higher numbers favor impeaching Bush than favored impeaching Clinton:


"Would you favor or oppose the impeachment by Congress of President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney?"

Favor: 39%

Oppose:55 %

Undecided/Don't Know: 6%

Just before Clinton was impeached, the numbers looked like this:

Phase I: Aug-Sept 1998 (Before Impeachment)

* Average support for impeachment and removal (10 polls): 26%
* Average support for hearings (6 polls): 36%

However, don't expect the Dems to try to impeach him. We learned our lesson watching the Republicans frothing at the mouth at the prospect of finally "getting" Clinton. Instead, they saw their support falter. In my district, a newer congressman was ousted - Jim Rogan, who had served as one of the House Managers of the impeachment. I think it's a valuable lesson.

Final comment goes to the author of the article:

"Nevertheless, the astounding public sentiment expressed in this poll illustrates just how far Bush and Cheney may have set their party back."
