[Hissyspit]

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10562904/from/ET/

[xultar]

1. I suppose FUCK YES isn't an option in the poll.

[halobeam]

3. no, its not an option, but the yes is... and LOL almost 400,000 said yes!

[PegDAC]

109. I suppose it also works as

"You betcha, Red Ryder!"

[Hun Joro]

60. That's the option I was looking for.

[goclark]

108. xultar ~ you always hit the nail on the head!

:hug:

[edbermac]

2. 87 percent YES

:rofl:

[mzmolly]

31. And, nearly 400 thousand votes!

:wow:

[badgerpup]

62. About 1:30 MST....

Yes, between the secret spying, the deceptions leading to war and more, there is plenty to justify putting him on trial.
87%

No, like any president, he has made a few missteps, but nothing approaching "high crimes and misdemeanors."
4.5%

No, the man has done absolutely nothing wrong. Impeachment would just be a political lynching.
6.3%

:shrug: I don't know.
1.9%

Not a scientific survey. Click to learn more. Results may not total 100% due to rounding.


Hmmm...looks like we have a...mandate, maybe?

63. About 1:30 MST....

No, like any president, he has made a few missteps, but nothing approaching "high crimes and misdemeanors."

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

4. Hee-hee. 87% saying yes. Now if we could get that proportion of "leaders" to agree...

[Rude Horner]

5. Holy shit. 87% "yes" with almost 400,000 votes

Where's his reliable 30% base? Even I was surprised at 87% yes.

[file83]

86. 395,663 votes is a very LARGE sample...

...of a well informed population. Unfortunately, much this country is not well informed. Otherwise, Bush would already be history.

[Imagevision]

6. It's a slap in the face to this country that this president isn't tried for war crimes

[Imagevision]

7. I believe the Dems & Repugs are in cahoots to allow Bush to escape without impeachment!

[Just-plain-Kathy]

89. I think you're 100% right.

[Warpy]

8. It hardly needed our help

because it's overwhelmingly pro impeachment.

In fact, it makes me wonder where is supposed 33% support is coming from, whether being a loyal supporter requires not owning a computer.

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

9. 87% yes ~with 392,873 responding in all.

[TZ]

10. Even last year..

polls showed more people thought he should be impeached than ever thought Clinton should have been.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

11. Wow that really is high!

The GOP may be thinking this way too?

[lpbk2713]

12. The fact that they are asking this question is very telling.

If the asshole was doing a halfway decent job it wouldn't even occur to them to ask such a question.

[PATRICK]

28. Splitting the next three

choices meant absolutely nothing which means the 87% could even have favored STRONGER language in the top choice. You can see why they usually rig polls. When the popular will really gets out it pushes at the polls according to the room allowed for it to express itself.

[NoAmericanTaliban]

13. 87 % yes - K&R

[Blackhatjack]

14. MSM reports results of MSNBC Poll ......

"In an online poll at MSNBC today, President Bush received confirmation that there is solid support from a substantial number of voters who support him in warding off any attempts at his impeachment."

Asked to comment, Tony Snow said, " We know how unscientific these online polls can be, but if you discount the 87% who were obviously misled about the fine job President Bush is doing, you find that the American people are solidly behind the President, and his conduct of the war in Iran....er, I mean Iraq. Right, Iraq.'

[halobeam]

19. OMG LMAO....

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[cynatnite]

30. That'll keep me laughing all day!

:rofl:

[Blackhatjack]

35. Tony Snowjob gives Bush's take on the poll .....

"The President has looked at this poll, and he just does not agree with it. You see the President looks for the good in everyone, no matter how small it is. And He told me this morning, if there is 13% against impeachment in everybody voting in this poll, then I got to believe in that --give them a chance, because that is all you need for it to grow and mushroom ... into a democracy just like Iraq."

[EVDebs]

65. Tell the CIA to take their sigmoidoscope outta my ass.

CIA to move domestic ops to Denver CO

[cool user name]

72. OMG .. Is that a true quote?

That just seems like a parody or something ...

:lmao:

[alfredo]

15. 87% says YES!!

[Bobbie Jo]

16. Rec # 5

Thanks for the link. Of course I contributed with my vote. Honestly, I'm not surprised with the trend.

[helderheid]

17. "HELL YES" wasn't an option but I voted anyway

[Chimichurri]

18. those numbers give me hope! K&R

[The Count]

20. I was looking for the "Duh" option...

[mmonk]

21. If these results hold up

send it to the Speaker's office.

[H2O Man]

22. Fascinating!

Yes = 87% (he's guilty)

No = 4.5% (he's made a few errors)

No = 6.4% (pure as snow, he)

? = 1.9% (unsure)

[PATRICK]

24. Pushing a half million votes

Now THAT is an impeachment petition in the making.

[ItsTheMediaStupid]

47. Fascinating and amazing, especially with so many votes registered

It was closed by the time I checked the link.

I guess it means that 87% of Americans who are paying attention want him impeached.

[libodem]

23. Hell, yes

Not to be crude, but someone should follow him 24/7 and find out who's sucking his dick. Same for Cheney and if it's anyone other than Lynn or Laura, we have a case.:sarcasm:

[Wizard777]

25. 87% and holding. Impeachment is ON the table and Pelosi will eat her words

[jgraz]

26. Next poll: Do you believe President Bush's actions justify castration with a rusty nail file?

That might be a little more balanced. Just guessing...

[tnlurker]

27. This poll is at least a month old

Maybe even older. I remember voting on this poll quite a long time ago.

[NewJeffCT]

46. I think it may be close to a year old now

I'm pretty sure it was around before last summer.

[lpbk2713]

29. It's sort of like this CNN poll from about a year ago ......

He hasn't improved a hell of a lot.

[Iwasthere]

32. 87 % and he has 33 % approval BS BS!!!!!

He does NOT have 33 % approval!

[oasis]

33. 87% "Yes" in a rigged poll that has two "no" choices.nt

[Imagevision]

34. I would love to send this poll to Nancy Pelosi, I'm sure she's very busy though...

[yurbud]

36. vote this post up too, so more people see it. It would be great if we could get msnbc up to 99%

[wakeme2008]

37. 393282 responses

This is no small number of people :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[VOX]

38. Holding strong at 87%. Maybe there's hope after all. n/t

[Marie26]

39. Has there ever been an official poll on this? nt

[cynatnite]

40. Here...

http://www.democrats.com/bush-impeachment-poll-2

I don't know of any more recent than this.

[Marie26]

43. 52% pro-impeachment

Thanks! So the majority of Americans supported impeachment in Jan. 2006 - and it seems like that figure should be even higher now.

[GOTV]

101. The majority of polls I saw in 2006 showed only minority support for impeachment....

I think only two showed a slight majority for support.

http://pollingreport.com/bush.htm

[halobeam]

44. works for me, and we just last week were asking the AG Gonzales

on these issues in hearings. Another hearing to follow if I'm correct. I believe a few on the panel wanted to follow up with another hearing. Side noting; Mr. Whitehouse setting the AG up by asking his views of what constitutes perjury while being question in a hearing with Congress... that moment was fabulous!

[GOTV]

102. Yes

http://pollingreport.com/bush.htm

[marmar]

41. Done. Still 87 percent....

Gotta go, gotta go.

[ms liberty]

42. Done - still at 87%! n/t

[Double T]

45. Impeach the entire WH...........

they're ALL guilty of high crimes against the USA, humanity and the world.

[librechik]

48. I'm not sure, but this appears to be from 2005--At least the story it's attached to is...

If so, I wonder what the figure is now?

[rinsd]

64. You're correct.

Liberals blogs and forums like DU have been passing it around since 2005. Its been hit so many tiems by the left of the blogosphere, I actually chuckle a little when people point to it as proof that impeachment is wanted.

[Hosnon]

49. Holy shit! I didn't expect to see 87% yes!!!!!!! nt.

[Sapphire Blue]

50. Sent to Speaker Pelosi, the House Judiciary Committee, and my Rep.

[usregimechange]

51. done k

[Vincardog]

Oh yeah, "I have a mandate."





Well, now you have an ever bigger mandate asshole.

[diane in sf]

66. The only mandate he has ever had

was with the likes of Gannon/Guckert or Rove.

[MoonRiver]

55. Can't vote anymore, but,

[AbbyR]

[Jack Rabbit]

70. 87% of nearly 40K respondants say YES

Since his numbers in scientific surveys aren't that far in the tank, I doubt a real poll would would quite this good.

Still, this is encouraging.

[file83]

87. Check that: It's almost 400k!

[happydreams]

71. I hope the Democrats see poll and begin the process.

[GOTV]

103. I'm sure the Democrats understand, as do we, that this is an *online* poll...

... and like most online polls get DUed or freeped.

No one should suspect an online poll has any relationship to the will of the people.

[DesertRat]

73. done. k&r

[NEDem]

74. The poll is from 2005.

Been posted here at DU at least once every couple months since it first appeared in 2005.

94. i guess it was too late for me to vote, but omigawd

87 percent support impeachment.

it's coming around...with my fingers crossed i sense some hope

[IWantAChange]

95. Can the Impeachment whisper grow into a never-ending public shout?

I understand the poll isn't current - what would be the percentages today?

[Clinton_Co_Regulator]

96. HOLY CRAP

87% yes

[donheld]

97. Yea, like they needed my help

not that I minded. It's great to see so many people on the impeachment side of things.

[calimary]

98. The poll was closed by the time I found it. But I'd still answer

HELL YES!!! ADAMANTLY!!! With ALL my heart!!!

[Pooka Fey]

99. I just voted - it's 87% with 398,040 responses

[Time for change]

100. What's with the 6.3% who say he's done absolutely nothing wrong?

Are only earthlings allowed to vote in this poll?

105. I Say... "Let's Get It On" BEFORE We Start A War With Iran!!

I have been soooooo depressed for two days now and just can't get out of this FUNK!

I AM so very very worried about so many many things. I'm going to go to a local march this week-end against the war, but don't have ANY energy for it right now! I've already told others I would be there, but my heart isn't in it because I don't see ANYTHING on the horizon that is going to stop this MANIACAL PSYCHO!

[erpowers]

106. Anyone Seen the Poll

I was and still am shocked at the numbers for this poll. First, I thought that even if the majority of the people who vote in the poll voted yes it would be only a small majority. It is a hugh majority. It is almost 90%(87%). I was just shocked when I saw the number. I know these polls are not that reliable in that anyone can vote as many times as they would like, but this is still a hugh number. I have seen other polls on other issues were many members of DU voted. I do not think I have seen anything like this. I wonder if the media will talk about this. I doubt the media will.

[Ahgoo]

107. Wish it was a Current Poll

This one is from 2005. Can you imagine the numbers a new one would reveal? Where are these NEW polls - lets do it again.

[bdamomma]

110. he should have impeached when the SC appointed him.
