99. Checking the link out, I found that the OP is not being completely honest
Those are only TWO of the polls quoted on that site. Here's info on another poll conducted AFTER the two mentioned above:



On 12/14/05, members of AfterDowningStreet.org hired Rasmussen Reports to ask a harder-edged question: "Should President Bush be impeached and removed from Office?" 32% said yes, 58% said no. Rasmussen also asked: "Should Vice President Cheney be Impeached and Removed from Office?" 35% said yes, 55% said no. A gap between support for impeachment hearings and removal is understandable - there was a 10% gap in similar polls for President Clinton in 1998. Rasmussen's results probably understate support for impeachment and removal, because Rasmussen's polls consistently show Bush's approval ratings 5-10% higher than all other polls.

That's from this page on a democrats.com entitled, "It's Time to Demand More Polls on Impeaching Bush": http://www.democrats.com/bush-impeachment-polls

In other words, that site -- the one the OP is quoting to all of you right here -- wants to keep conducting polls over-and-over until it gets more of the results it wants -- polls which claim the public wants to see impeachment hearings. That approach is nothing but pure intellectual dishonesty, and would be laughed at with scorn by any academic or responsible journalist.
