We all know there's such a thing as a push poll. We also know that a heckuva lot of pollsters get their results wrong.
Nevertheless, here's an unwelcome Fox News poll result being reported as news and being flashed, at least at first, in red letters at the center of the page on the Drudge Report:
Just over half of voters want President Trump impeached and removed from office, according to a Fox News Poll released Wednesday.
A new high of 51 percent wants Trump impeached and removed from office, another 4 percent want him impeached but not removed, and 40 percent oppose impeachment altogether.

Polls of registered voters always skew Democrat. Why is Fox even publishing something like this?

Fox might as well hire Rachell Maddow and replace Hannity! We can all see where Fox is going and it will cost them dearly! This poll is BS, by the way!

Welcome to Fox Fake News. I doubt they even take the time to call anyone. Someone tries to figure out what number will hurt Trump the most while not completely jumping the shark. Then it’s onto talking heads blabbing away for hours.

90% of Democrats want to impeach Trump. 10% of Republicans want to impeach Trump.
So how do you come out with 51%? By once again oversampling Democratic voters.
Democrats and Republicans vote in roughly equal numbers. If you sampled equal numbers of Democrat and Republican voters, your result would have been in the low to mid 40s, not 51%. So this is -wait for it- a fake poll.
And that is with the mmedia blasting only Democratic lies for over a week.
Lie #1: Trump pressured Ukraine by denying it military aid.
Fact #1: The delay was a month later, and was only to wait and encourage other countries to also contribute.
Lie #2: Trump pressured Ukraine to start an investigation on the Bidens.
Fact #2: The president of the Ukraine brought up an investigation that they had started four months earlier without the USA.
Lie 3#: Trump is trying to slander the candidate he is afraid of losing to.
Fact#3 The only person who believes Biden will be the candidate in 2020 is Biden.
Lie 4: Biden's son 'only' received $600,000 from Burisma.
Fact #4: Hunter Biden also received a $3.4 million dollar payment from Burisma. Joseph Biden received $900,000 from them.
Lie 5# A courageous whistleblower reported the Trump call with Ukraine.
Fact #5: Under the rules in force at the time he or she acted, this was not whistleblowing of first hand evidence. This was criminal leaking of second hand gossip. The leaker went to the Democrats, who refused to inform the Republicans on the committee. Only weeks later did the leaker become a 'whistleblower' by informing the Intelligence Inspector General. The IG then changed the ruls retroactively to prevent the criminal leaker from prosecution. Meanwhile the IG claims not to know that the leaker was colluding with Democrats before filing as a whistleblower.
Lie #6: There is an impeachment inquiry in process.
Fact #6: An impeachment inquiry requires a full vote of the House of Representatives. What we have now is a Democratic smear campaign, just like the last one. Pelosi is afraid that some of her Democrats who come from districts that Donald Trump won in 2016, won't vote for the inquiry. Or that they will vote for it, and then lose to Republicans next year.
This is the last hurrah of the Democratic party. They are in full panic mode, They expect to lose the House along with the Senate and presidency next year.

Polls these days are not worth the powder to blow them up with.
When a person told a pollster that in his or her opinion Trump should be impeached and removed from office. The next question that the pollster should have asked is why?

In case you missed President Trump's tweet this morning:"
"Thank you to @OANN One America News for your fair coverage and brilliant reporting. It is appreciated by many people trying so hard to find a new, consistent and powerful VOICE! See you tonight at the Big Rally in Minneapolis."

21 out of 23 polls in 2016 were dead wrong right till the end. Exit polls on election day afternoon were showing Hillary carrying all 50 states. You couldn't wipe the grins off the faces of the talking heads. These 'polls' are being pushed by the same people who have learned nothing. While the effects of constant toxic propaganda are being reflected, in the end they won't matter.

I was curious what Rasmussen had learned. He’s usually pretty accurate. Turns out that the President has a 47% positive rating and 51% negative. That’s actually pretty good, and I doubt that all 51% want impeachment. The Fox poll is an outlier. I don’t think that suggests any sinister leftist takeover of the channel. It’s just a fluke.

Received a phone call last week, CBS poll, totally skewed questions. There was no way to answer them that reflected my opinion. Ask if it would be OK if a reporter called me later - uh no. I am not interested in a CBS reporters comments.

The actual poll results are available through a link from the article Drudge posted. 48% Dems (40% strong, 8% lean), 40% republicans (33% strong, 7% lean), and 12% independents. So not surprising at all that results would skew negative. Keep in mind that Dems won 48% of popular vote, and Reps won 46+%. So really take this with a grain of salt. But very telling in Question 51, that only 43% thought that what was said in the call was impeachable, 13% didn't know and the rest said it was not impeachable.

Gave up on Drudge a long time ago.......what happened to them, they are not only anti Trump, the are a cheap tabloid, who cars about sleaze? Fox has almost lost me too, as we only watch Carlson, Hannity and Ingraham, although it would be nice if Sean and Laura stopped talking over people (especially Sean, hint, hint!). Cannot wait for One America News to come to my area>

Oh, and remember on the night of the election, 2016 everyone had Hillary pegged as the runaway winner.
(right)
