Only 53% of those voting favored impeachment. If it's that low among the JBS faithful, I think we can safely conclude there is no real public support for this position. Not all who voted were the JBS faithful, since I am not a JBS member. I suspect the vote was likely pitched to a lot of groups who might be sympathetic with various JBS agendas however. Nonetheless, I noted 4% weren't sure. The breakdown of the remainder indicates that a significant segment of the 'no' vote didn't necessarily believe that the 'mistakes' Bush has made warranted impeachment -- not a high endorsement for Bush, or so it might seem in any case. There are more important and serious issues looming on the horizon right now that might change the perception of the public against the Republicans, as the majority of the current controversy surrounding revelations of corruption and kick backs etc., are mostly Republican politicians, including Bush. I'm not so sure where that one is going to go at this moment, but the casualties are escallating again in Afghanistan and Iraq, and the cumulative effect of some of these revelations will in my judgement, continue to erode Bush's support in the middle of his second term. It could also spell the doom of the GOP hold on Congress in the aftermath of the mid-term elections this year.
