The so-called mainstream has often talked about the pro-impeachment crowd as a fringe movement of society that does not relate to the majority of Americans. However a recent study has shown that 39 percent of Americans now approve of Congress kicking George's ass to the curb.
From Crooks and Liars:
A surprising number of Americans seem to think impeachment is a good idea. From the very conservative magazine, Human Events:
Few serious observers think things will ever get to actual impeachment. And yet the American public seems more open to the concept than many imagine, according to a new national poll. The implications of this public sentiment could be huge for the 2008 presidential elections.
Our InsiderAdvantage/Majority Opinion poll asked this: “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%I should note that InsiderAdvantage/Majority Opinion is not a liberal polling firm — it’s led by Matt Towery, a former Republican state lawmaker who ran Newt Gingrich’s political operation for several years.
If that polling was conducted by Matt Towery, it would be interesting to see what a neutral pollster would find out there. It is a shame that we do not have at least four in ten Congressmen in favor of impeachment. Where's the representation, eh?
