FOX NEWS POLL: 54 PERCENT OF AMERICANS SAY TRUMP SHOULD BE IMPEACHED

If you listen to the jackassery on right wing social media and conservative internet forums its all over but the shouting, Trump is "winning" the impeachment fight. 

Really? 

Now we know the Republican cowards in the Senate are going to let him walk, but that does not appear to be what a large portion of the American people want. 

In almost every way of looking at it in this new Fox News poll, the results are bad for Trump. Pluralities think he's guilty of bribery and obstruction of justice, and a majority wants him impeached , with a plurality of 50% saying he should be removed from office. 

Now Trumpsters will make excuses for the umpteenth time. 

Let the bamboozling begin !

41% say he should not be impeached. 

Funny how that so closely matches the numbers in his base.

That's because it is his base. They are not objective. They cannot weigh whether the President is or isn't abusing his office, they are set in stone partisans. They constantly whine about other people being biased against them but they are biased against anything but themselves and will do whatever it takes to be in power. Abandoning their oversight responsibility was an easy choice for such slimy sycophants. It's no wonder they believe any civil servant who might be registered as a Democrat simply can't be trusted, because they know THEY wouldn't be trustworthy if they were in that office and would always rule in favor of their party. They are projecting their extreme partisanship onto faithful hard working civil servants and frankly it's disgusting and evidence we need to get these Trump brown nosing Republican legislators out of office as soon as possible. No wonder nearly two dozen Republican legislators already announced they would be retiring next year. They know they can't win without sucking down dirty Donald's tainted cool-aid and they are unwilling to bend the knee to the naked Emperor and tell him how beautiful his imaginary clothes are no matter how many of their rabid constituents do. If only there were more Republican legislators with that kind of integrity. The Republican party of today looks nothing like the party of just 20 years ago.

“Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them.” - Barry Goldwater

Like the Democratic base is objective? They have been screaming for Trump's impeachment since before he took office- along with the Democrats and media.

You act like the Democrats and their lemmings are unbiased.

I'm not saying either side is "unbiased". I'm saying that even those with a political bias can still follow the law and be objective when it comes to saying whether something is an abuse of power or not. I think almost every civil servant working for the United States is registered to one party ort another. If we imagine every civil servant who happens to lean pone way or another politically to be some deep state cog willing to abandon their sense of right and wrong and their oath of office just because its politically beneficial to our party, then the American experiment is already over. If we are to such polar opposites that neither side can trust the others general adherence to the law and constitution, then Putin has already won and the 250 year experiment in western democracy has already come to a close which would be a very sad day indeed only cheered by those who support Putin and his loyal wannabe oligarch dishonest Donald.

That's because it is his base. They are not objective. They cannot weigh whether the President is or isn't abusing his office, they are set in stone partisans.

Are you talking about Trump supporters or haters?

They constantly whine about other people being biased against them but they are biased against anything but themselves and will do whatever it takes to be in power.

Again....this describes both sets of partisans.

The only thing you've omitted is the inability of each set to see the behaviors they abhor going on in their own camp.

I watched Democrats circle the wagons for Bill Clinton, and I didn't vote for him in '92 or '96. I thought their partisanship was a disgusting display. I feel the same about Republicans. I also don't think just because someone else does something wrong then you should do it too. One parties bad actions should never justify the other parties use of the same. If they do, then they both prove themselves completely void of any actual standards, morals or ethics. When a terrorist is caught trying to rig an IED to kill and maim US soldiers, do we let them off the hook because their kid brother was blown up by a US airstrike? Of course not, because their claim that someone else did it to them first isn't a valid excuse to pay that violence forward. Now, some here in America likely agree that that terrorists actions aren't justified, but if their own kid brother was killed in a terrorist attack here on US soil they'd likely think they had an absolute right, a duty even, to go kill as many of those terrorists with any means necessary, IED's included. It's pretty much what we did after 9/11.

My point is that yes, both parties have done some despicable things, and members of each party have done some really vile things like the longest serving Republican leader of the House Denny Hastert raping kids and paying millions to keep them quiet. But that doesn't mean we can now excuse a Democrat for doing the same, or give a free pass to one for a future kid raping, right? That's not how this works, right? So just because some Republicans feel Democrats did something nefarious, does that justify giving dishonest Donald carte blanche to do whatever he wants regardless of how he abuses his power for his own personal political gain? Have we gone down that road so far now there is no going back to a time where political scandal was a fairly rare thing that would pop up every few months or even years and not every few minutes? If we've already crossed the Rubicon, what hope is there for the Republic?

As the old story goes, Benjamin Franklin was approached and asked what sort of government the delegates had just created. His answer, "A republic, if you can keep it.". I think the mindless partisanship we see today is evidence that we are losing our Republic. Franklin once said "when you assemble a number of men to have the advantage of their joint wisdom, you inevitably assemble with those men, all their prejudices, their passions, their errors of opinion, their local interests, and their selfish views."

He appeared to think it impossible to expect a "perfection" from such a gathering as they had, but he believed that the Constitution they had just written, "with all its faults," was better than any alternative that was likely to emerge. I personally believe our current system isn't perfect, but it's a hell of a lot better than the alternative on either side, left or right. If both sides are just determined to out-high crime the other (high crimes being an abuse of power, not an actual criminal statute as some morons would have you believe) then we are doomed and have just two choices before us, the right wing fascism Trump and his base foam at the mouth for or the cobbled together capitalist/socialist Republic we have created out of our founders constitutional foundation.

You know that many is more than one right? 

Run along.

I'm not the one that runs away from addressing questions.  

Adults are in discussions.

Judging from your comments, you're not one of them. 

The crazy thing is Fox is always skewed, so if the truth was actually told, then I think the percentage for impeachment and impeachment/removal is much higher that the Fox poll. Anyone with an ounce of decency and common sense knows that the Republican experiment of allowing Trump free rein was a mistake. Now Republicans desperately cling to him in order to protect themselves from admitting that mistake. They could control the "Tea Party" experiment and shut it down. Now they have crossed the Rubicon into allowing cronyism, nepotism, and corruption that has become openly flaunted in the face of the law. Not a shred of decency left.

Actually that is true, but towards democrats.

Yesterday, Kevin Cork did a report on this poll and at the end of his report, he let the cat out of the bag. He said the poll over sampled democrats. I tried to look at the methodology, but the only thing it stated was the percentage of error.

The opinion to impeach is probably more towards the liberal base, mid 40s at most.

Qunnipac has Trump at his highest approval ever

Suffolk has him beating every single potential  Democratic nominee for the first time ever

The most partisan impeachment in history doing its part to ensure Trump's reelection.

CNN just released a poll showing support for impeachment has dropped 9%, to 45%, since October.
