Fox News Poll: Record Support For Trump Impeachment

By Ed Scarce — October 10, 2019

Oddly enough, Fox News has been quite quiet (at least in primetime) about the results of their own polling on impeachment. Weird, eh?

Source: Fox News

Just over half of voters want President Trump impeached and removed from office, according to a Fox News Poll released Wednesday.

A new high of 51 percent wants Trump impeached and removed from office, another 4 percent want him impeached but not removed, and 40 percent oppose impeachment altogether. In July, 42 percent favored impeachment and removal, while 5 percent said impeach but don’t remove him, and 45 percent opposed impeachment.

Since July, support for impeachment increased among voters of all stripes: up 11 points among Democrats, 5 points among Republicans, and 3 among independents. Support also went up among some of Trump’s key constituencies, including white evangelical Christians (+5 points), white men without a college degree (+8), and rural whites (+10).

Ted Lieu has a few words.

Why does this Fox News poll show surging support for impeachment?

-Americans know instinctively that @realDonaldTrump betrayed our country.

-Americans know it is wrong for @POTUS to cover up corruption, and to obstruct investigations.

-GOP process defenses are stupid. https://t.co/ldyjuDXDPc

Fox News, with Bret Baier, allotted all of 30 seconds to talk about their own poll.

And right on cue, the Shitgibbon himself responds:

From the day I announced I was running for President, I have NEVER had a good @FoxNews Poll. Whoever their Pollster is, they suck. But @FoxNews is also much different than it used to be in the good old days. With people like Andrew Napolitano, who wanted to be a Supreme....

...Court Justice & I turned him down (he’s been terrible ever since), Shep Smith, @donnabrazile (who gave Crooked Hillary the debate questions & got fired from @CNN), & others, @FoxNews doesn’t deliver for US anymore. It is so different than it used to be. Oh well, I’m President!
