A poll that researchers would not run because they thought it was not a hot
topic has proven to become an actual hot topic. By a margin of 50% to 44%, the
American people want President Bush impeached if it is proven he lied about the
issues leading to our invasion of Iraq.
The poll, sponsored by
Afterdowningstreet.org, and conducted by IPSOS was ran from October 8-9,
where 1,001 adults were surveyed.
In June of this year, the last time this question was polled, only 42% of
respondents supported impeachment. This has changed by a yield of 8%, and can be
considered directly influenced by the diminishing support for the Iraq war.
During the Monica Lewinsky affair, only 36% of those polled favored an
investigation into Bill Clinton, while only 26% actually supported impeachment.
