Fox News Impeachment Poll Was WAY OFF! Pollster Misrepresented Data
Last week, Fox News released a new poll that claimed that more than half of Americans favor impeaching President Trump and removing him from office.
I’ll be honest, when I first heard that I didn’t believe it because it didn’t sound right, and I’m sure you thought the same. For goodness sakes, I write political articles every single day and you are reading them every day. Trump doesn’t just go from having the highest favorability rating to 51% want him removed from office that quickly. Especially since we know it’s all a farce and that there is no evidence that the President did anything wrong.
According to the New York Post,
The poll said 51% of voters were in favor of Trump’s impeachment and removal from office, while 40% did not want him impeached.
Princeton, New Jersey, pollster Braun Research, which conducted the survey, noted 48% of its respondents were Democrats. But the actual breakdown of party-affiliation is 31% Democrat, 29% Republican and 38% independent, according to Gallup.
A poll weighted for party affiliation would have concluded that 44.9% favored impeachment and 44.4% opposed it, a Post analysis has concluded.
The President tweeted regarding the poll results,
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!

At this point, I’m hoping that they impeach Trump so America can see how foolish they are which in turn will gain more Republican seats in 2020.
