A CNN/ORC poll shows that a majority of Americans oppose impeachment:
[A]ccording to the poll, only 35% want Obama impeached, with nearly two-thirds saying the President should not be removed from office.
There's an obvious partisan divide, with 57% of Republicans but only 35% of independents and 13% of Democrats backing a move to impeach Obama.
The lawsuit is effectively impeachment-lite to appease the GOP base without the political consequences. But a majority opposes that too:
By a 57%-41% margin, Americans say House Republicans shouldn't file the suit. As with the question on impeachment, there's a wide partisan divide over the lawsuit.
How much is Boehner willing to give in to demands of the GOP base that put it at odds with the general public and rally Democrats?
