A recent poll that found nearly 70 percent of Republicans believe President Joe Biden should be impeached if the GOP takes control of Congress in 2023 added to the already high stakes going into the midterm elections.
The University of Massachusetts Amherst conducted a poll in conjunction with YouGov that garnered 1,000 respondents to weigh in on not only whether they believe a Republican-controlled legislature would impeach Biden to commence the 118th U.S. Congress, but if they should as well. As the polling between May 5-9 did not suggest a reason to respondents for the removal of Biden, the results returned were expectedly partisan.
In the case of the generic question should Biden be impeached if Republicans reclaim the House, an overall 34 percent comprised of 68 percent of Republican respondents held that position.

“While just over one-third of the poll’s 1,000 respondents (34%) say that a GOP-controlled House should impeach Biden, 68% of Republicans and Trump voters and 66% of conservatives all would like to see the President charged by Congress for treason, bribery or other high crimes and misdemeanors, the formal criteria for impeachment laid out in the Constitution,” the release explained without specifying a particular high crime or misdemeanor.
As such, it appears the intent of the poll was more to support the narrative that impeachment has become a political tool used along partisan divides rather than the serious measure it is intended to be.
UMass Amherst associate professor of political science Tatishe Nteta who directed the poll suggested as much in his analysis of the findings.
“The decision to impeach a president was once viewed as a last resort to reign in a president who pushed or broke through the boundaries of our laws, values and ethics. Today, impeachment is no longer a final option, but one of many weapons to be used in an era of rampant partisan polarization to gain an upper hand on one’s partisan opponents,” he contended.
“With a number of Republican members of Congress calling to impeach President Biden,” Nteta went on, “the chorus will likely grow louder if and when the Republican Party takes control of the U.S. House in 2022.”
Again the trouble with this polling is that in a representative form of government it is up to elected officials to do what their voters send them to Washington, D.C. to accomplish. So, while it is no surprise that a majority of conservative voters want to see Biden removed, by not providing a reason for that removal, Democrat politicians can just as easily point to a similar majority of their voters in opposition to impeachment to impede such an action.
Liberals have already begun to question the legitimacy of any attempt to remove Biden as any alleged wrongdoing is continually swept under the carpet by complicit corporate media outlets.
Getting even, apparently.

They don't need a reason. I imagine it will be something like "because fvck you, that's why"

The bigger takeaway for Republicans should be the disparity between those who want Biden impeached and those who actually believe he will be impeached. With a 15-point spread with a plus or minus of 3.5 percent on the figures, there is an obvious lack of faith from the voters in their representatives following through on promises made. If the GOP hopes to keep the enthusiasm high heading into November, they are going to have to address that gap and make clear that they mean business, especially if they hope to get a filibuster-proof majority.

Tar and feather piglosi and run her outta town on a rail with schemer ,
Poopy pants Nadler,pencil neck shiff ,
Can’t wait for Mid Terms. Fk you all.
The man has committed treasonous acts and has enriched himself by doing that. He constantly breaks the law.
I am All for a real impeachment with REAL reasons. This SOB is taking my retirement I worked 44 years for and if he isn’t impeached I will pray for his death every day in some other way!
I feel your concerns. With the prices of everything increasing ,it harder to
Live as we are accustomed. People are now living from check to check .
Yet this bastard blames everything that is on a free fall , on president Trump.
This AHole has to go ,like you said ,
One way or the other. I’m sure you do NOT stand alone . .
Never in USA history,has a sitting president had so low ratings ,
Put the American people in a sad state of near poverty, no border ,no resources.
High gas,food prices ,taxes and sending billions to Ukrain, ,baby diapers, formula instead of taking care of the first most important issue .
THE American People !
He has proven , fkjbiden doesn’t give a DAMN about you !
The UMass professor’s claim that impeachment is no longer a final option, but one of many weapons to be used in an era of rampant partisan polarization neglected to note that this situation created by Republicans in the case of Bill Clinton’s proven debauchery in the White House pales in comparison to the situation created by Democrats in the case of lying and scheming to prevent Trump becoming president and thereafter performing his duties as POTUS. In the case of Biden, there is hard evidence of failing to uphold his oath of office and dereliction of duty. Think failing to safeguard our troops and property in his haste to evacuate Afghanistan, failing to secure our southern border, printing money to flood the economy and cause inflation that is crippling our citizens, printing more money to fund a proxy war in Ukraine, putting many thousands of Americans out of work on his first day in office and subsequently begging nations hostile to the US to produce more oil to make up for shutting our resources and reserves. He and his administration are also supporting efforts to suppress free speech. Those are just the issues that immediately come to mind. He is destroying opportunity and security in this country. If that isn’t impeachable, I don’t know what is.
Impeach him under Article whatever for being a nut job. Wait! He might like the sound of that . He might think hes getting a freebe. Ok. A nut case. Just get him the hell outta there. Along with Nancy and Camel Toe Harris. Then do the same for McConnel. Its time for them to put in for unemployment benefits.
You Think.
Remove and imprison the sucka!
Keep it real with Biden! He deserves it!….. treason: [noun] the offense of attempting by overt acts to overthrow the government of the state to which the offender owes allegiance or to kill or personally injure the sovereign or the sovereign’s family.
Hold on GOP. Depose the dimwit clown and elevate the dumbassed Kamala to potus and ding bat chit head PELOSI to VP ??? Are you nuts???
These Republicans are missing the point. Use 25th to remove Lie-den. Then impeach Harris. With proper people who have balls, all could be done quickly just like Peelousy with Trump. Then hopefully, a new leader like Jim Jordan can scramble the eggs and prosecute Jan 6 committee. I know the cabinet has to invoke the 25th and old fish woman Garland would be shitting his Depends, but use Obama / Holder style tactics to get them to move. We have a country to save. FJB AND ALL WHO STILL SUPPORT HIM.
Not enough Balls in Congress just political loud mouth pimps and hores
The Liberals used impeachment as a weapon, conservatives would use it to save the country from a treasonous idiot!
Why wait? Start proceedings now, as, at the least, it could tie up the dems agenda through January, at which time, the impeachments could succeed. Just make sure that the actions are taken vs the entire dem leadership, as, they`re all complicit in their “destroy America” agenda.
Why wait until mid terms? We are going broke now and it will take the better part of a year to recover
Impeachment was always a political tool. The founders told us they knew it would be used that way.
Impeach Joe? Sure, go ahead. Convict and remove him? Not unless you remove Cackles the Clown along with him.
She’s the reason Joe doesn’t have to wear body armor.
So we will get Camel-a?
Heaven help us. We are screwed either way.
Yes he SHOULD be IMPEACHED but I highly DOUBT he will be! The HOUSE might engage in IMPEACHMENT Proceedings but the SENATE will never REMOVE HIM! BUT, it the midterms are as DISASTROUS and I HOPE then the DEMOcrats might just think it’s in THEIR best interests to remove him! The ONLY way I would want this to go down is for the R’s to take back the House, elect PRESIDENT TRUMP as SPEAKER, IMPEACH the turnip AND the trollop, and then PRESIDENT PRESIDENT TRUMP!
Your dreaming. If we can get the majority in both chambers, we can remove Garland, FBI management, HSS clown, butlicker, old Janet and a few others. They could force Joe to reinstate energy and economic sound policies provided they have veto proof majorities.
