Despite the shocking news of a recent Fox News poll that found that now 51% of Americans are in favor of President Trump’s impeachment and removal from office, the majority of Republicans, still staunchly support the embattled president.
In reality, the Fox survey is not that different from other recent polls on the subject. But some media types like to say “even Fox” has found such-and-such, as if it’s a survey of the network’s viewers rather than its widely respected professional polling operation.
However, not surprisingly one of those who are displeased with the Fox poll, and their reporting of it, is Trump.
“From the day I announced I was running for President, I have NEVER had a good @FoxNews Poll,” he tweeted. “Whoever their Pollster is, they suck. But @FoxNews is also much different than it used to be in the good old days.” He went on to name some of his least favorite network figures–Andrew Napolitano, Shep Smith, Donna Brazile–but added, “Oh well, I’m President!”
But there’s the thing when you drill down on the poll, it reflects the same old partisan chasm that has defined Trump’s presidency since Inauguration Day.
According to the poll, 85% of Democrats support impeachment and removal; independents are split, with 39% in favor, and 36% not in favor. Most importantly, only 13% of Republicans back impeaching and expelling Trump from office.
Now, it may be noteworthy that more than one in 10 Republicans want Trump gone. But if you’re a Republican senator, and the country is almost evenly split on impeachment, and the vast majority of your party opposes it, you’re not exactly under withering pressure to abandon your president.
Another point to note, overall in the Fox poll, the president’s approval drifted down only a couple of points, to 43 percent. And perhaps, most telling, upon closer examination the Fox poll contains a silver lining for the president after all. While 69 percent of those surveyed find Trump’s dealings with Ukraine’s leader extremely, very or somewhat troubling, 62 percent say the same about his allegations against Biden and his son’s business dealings in Ukraine and China.
The Dems just can’t get it together or get it right. A lot of crazy noise. Can they be terminated for their incompetence?
It will be GOD’s GIFT that President will win again in 2020………
It will be great when all illegal aliens will be shipped back to their own countries…….
Trump has made some bad decisions along the way but none any worse than the last president and VP! He is trying to prove illegal factors by previous administration and then is punished for it! Why when the previous administration had done even more,
Trump has been on the Democrats radar ever since he won the election!
I am a registered a Democrat but I am really ashamed of how the Democrats have fought Trump from day one! They thought Hillary was a shoo in and it didn’t work!Licking their wounds like an injured animal and won’t concede they lost!
I may never vote Democrat again!
Since DAY ONE the Dems have done NOTHING to help the USA or Trump. They refuse to vote on any ambassadors, held up judicial appointees with closure & voted party line on everything to stop any progress on anything. NOW they want to stripTrump of the people around him that he CAN trust while sneaking around to attempt to find something, no matter how minute. If they don’t “stuff the ballot boxes” , with any hope & lots of prayer they’ll ALL be out of there in “2 Novembers!”!!!
I know thousands of people who are opposed to impeaching President Trump. He is doing a great job! He can’t be bought and he actually has the American peoples best interest at heart. Trump/Pence 2020!
Am an INDEPENDENT voter – have allegiance to neither party, as always has been, always will be.. That said, I agree with Mr. Trump and his supporters that the one and only reason for this “impeachment” trope is because the Democrats lost the last election, are still not over it, and are about the sorest losers ever! Rather than try to win over voters, they’ve moved further left, taken to denigrate not only our President, but his supporters as well by calling us names and implying we are ignorant, uneducated or uncaring (?!) Nice try at winning new supporters, eh!? Hope that all of this partisan-based hate and discontent is turned around, back on the perpetrators (most Democrats, others as well) and Mr. Trump is free to actually do his job-along with whoever cares to put partisan politics aside and look out for our country and its inhabitants…that IS supposed to be their job, right?!
VOTE RED …If it weren’t for President Obama we might not have done the intelligence community assessment that we did that set up a whole sequence of events which are still unfolding today including Special Counsel Mueller’s investigation. President Obama is responsible for that. It was he who tasked us to do that intelligence community assessment in the first place. CLAPPER’S OWN CONFESSION
AMERICANS WE HAVE TO TAKE BACK OUR AMERICA FROM THE EVIL CRIMINAL ACTS OF DEMOCRATS………………………..TO SOLVE AMERICAS PROBLEMS MAKE THIS CHOICE WE THE PEOPLE’ HAVE THE POWER OF OUR VOICES AND OUR VOTES, TO VOTE OUT THE ENTIRE LYING,CORRUPT, TREASONOUS DEMOCRAT PARTY COME NOV 2018, VOTE TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN AND TO END ALL CORRUPTIONS IN WASHINGTON GOVERNMENT
