Remember all the pundits laughing at the notion of impeaching president Bush? Remember all the pollsters refusing to even ask that question in their oh so serious polls? Well, a majority now approves of Democratic plans to impeach president George W. Bush. 28% think it should be a high priority, 23% think it should be a lower priority, 44% disapprove of the idea. Wow.
Thats one finding of the latest Newsweek poll I just found at msnbc.com.
LINK And while the lead on issues has shrunk a little bit (moral values, WOT etc.) it still holds. And on the generic congressional ballot Democrats are still leading 55 to 37%, while 55% want Democrats in control and only 32% Republicans. Bushs job approval remains at a dismal 35% (up 2%).
Its hard not to be optimistic now. But we were optimistic in October 2004 too :-(
