According to a new Politico morning consult poll.
28% of Americans want the next Congress to focus on impeaching President Biden.
Now, 28%.
So we're talking about just a, a little over a quarter of the public.
So definitely not a majority.
Vast majority says impeachment is stupid, but you still have 28% of the public that
says, I think we oughta do this .
That is the dumbest thing I think I've ever seen.
But it gets even dumber when you start drilling down into the numbers.
Of course, 55% of Republicans say, yes, we should focus on impeaching President Biden.
I'm actually shocked that that number is not higher, right?
You barely have half the Republicans who say, yes, we should do it.
Here's the shocking number.
6% of Democrats say that we should focus on impeaching President Biden. 6% of Democrats
in this country are like, yeah, I think, I think we need to look into that.
I wanna meet this 6%.
I just want, I just wanna sit and talk to 'em.
I just wanna ask them calmly, like, why, why do you as a Democrat, think President Biden
should be impeached?
Listen, I am definitely not Biden's biggest fan by any stretch of the imagination.
I didn't want him to be the nominee in 2020.
I did vote for him because I'm, you know, a lesser of two evils kind of guy.
And I don't think he's evil by any stretch, but he hasn't lived up to expectations and
he's done a lot of things I don't like.
He's done plenty that I do.
Like, either way, eh, he comes and goes.
I'm not, not a huge Biden fan, but I also understand as a rational thinking human being,
as does most of the public, that he hasn't done anything worthy of impeachment.
So that's what blows my mind about this 6% of Democrats like, yeah, we should do it.
Why?
And I think that's kind of the follow up that Politico morning consult missed out on when
conducting this poll.
It's not just like, do you think they should focus on impeachment?
Oh, hell yeah.
Then you asked the obvious question, why would, would you mind telling me, you know, just
for research purposes here, why that's an answer?
I guarantee you most of them couldn't give you.
But either way, here's what this means.
28% says yes, let's do the impeachment.
6% of Democrats say yes.
55% of Republicans say yes.
A tiny, tiny fraction of independent and moderate voters.
The ones who will be deciding the upcoming 2024 election, say no.
So with Republicans telling us that they are going to work on impeaching, president Biden,
Donald Trump is telling them, you gotta do it more than twice.
So
That he holds the record as the most impeached president, uh, the independent voters, the
moderates are gonna get, they're going to be annoyed.
And this is going to backfire on Republicans, just like it backfired on them when they impeached.
Bill Clinton, who watched his popularity go through the roof after that.
So Republicans are stuck between a rock and a hard place.
A majority of their people want them to do impeachment.
A majority of the people that are gonna decide the election don't want them to even go for
it.
So which group do they try to appeal to?
Do?
Do they risk off their base or do they off the people that are gonna cost them the house
after just two years?
I think we all know the direction the Republicans are gonna go in, and it's gonna be hilarious
to watch it all unfold.
