Poll: Americans Favor Bush's Impeachment If He Lied about Iraq

AfterDowningStreet.org
By a margin of 50% to 44%, Americans want Congress to consider impeaching President Bush if he lied about the war in Iraq, according to a new poll commissioned by AfterDowningStreet.org, a grassroots coalition that supports a Congressional investigation of President Bush's decision to invade Iraq in 2003. The poll was conducted by Ipsos Public Affairs, the highly-regarded non-partisan polling company. The poll interviewed 1,001 U.S. adults on October 6-9.


The poll found that 50% agreed with the statement:


"If President Bush did not tell the truth about his reasons for going to war with Iraq, Congress should consider holding him accountable by impeaching him."


44% disagreed, and 6% said they didn't know or declined to answer. The poll has a /- 3.1% margin of error.


Among those who felt strongly either way, 39% strongly agreed, while 30% strongly disagreed.

You can fool some of the people all of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time. I would love to see the 2006 elections moved up a year. We are about to see a year of disinformation in the Republican drive to shore up their crumbling fortress.
