A deeper dive into one poll shows what Americans really think about impeachment
By Sharyl Attkisson, opinion contributor — 10/01/19 12:30 PM EDT

Ever since his inauguration, President Trump’s political opponents have been pushing to impeach him. They just hadn’t found the right excuse. In other words, they knew where they wanted to end up but they just hadn’t found the right vehicle to drive them down the road.

With the fuss over Ukraine, they may have found their vehicle, according to new polls.

Or have they?


The latest CBS News poll headlined the findings that “Majority of Americans favor an impeachment inquiry into President Trump,” 55 percent to 45 percent.

But what if there’s more than meets the eye? Like many polls, there is plenty of fodder within the CBS News poll results to support either side. The trick is who does the reporting and which points they select to highlight.

What if it turns out there are many other headlines — and statistics — that could have been chosen from the same poll, ones that give an entirely different take on the situation?

A check of the poll data shows it interviewed 124 more Democrats than Republicans. That’s a statistically significant difference — 6 percentage points more Democrats than Republicans.

Typical of almost all the pollsters when they want to skew the results to favor their leftist leanings.

And that is only one in a very large bag of tricks they employ!
