BuzzFlash ran this a little while ago and I just stumbled upon it:
A 1999 poll in the midst of Bill Clinton’s impeachment trial showed that only 32% of Americans wanted to remove him from office. But a poll this week shows that 39% of Americans want Bush and Cheney to be impeached.

Of course, Clinton’s approval […]
From the new CNN/OPR poll released today:
One proposal would provide additional funds for U.S. troops in Iraq and would require the U.S. to start withdrawing all its troops from Iraq by a specific date. Would you favor or oppose this bill?
Favor: 57%
Oppose: 41%
No opinion: 2%
Some proposals would provide additional funds for troops in […]
From the new Newsweek/Princeton poll:
It’s hard to say which is worse news for Republicans: that George W. Bush now has the worst approval rating of an American president in a generation, or that he seems to be dragging every ’08 Republican presidential candidate down with him. But According to the new NEWSWEEK Poll, the public’s […]
Rasmussen, a respected political polling firm issued the following report, this week:
Fifty-seven percent (57%) of American voters now favor either an immediate withdrawal of troops from Iraq (37%) or a firm deadline for their withdrawal (20%). The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that just 35% of voters are opposed to both of these […]
Earth Day was Sunday, April 23rd. How do Americans feel about global warming and who do they trust to solve the problem?
Here are the results of a new Washington Post/ABC poll on public attitudes towards the environment in chart format, provided exclusively by The Daily Background.
A new poll from my home state (New Hampshire) shows that President Bush has an approval rating far below the national average (somewhere in the 30s) of only 17% (among registered voters).
Note that the reason this is so low despite having a disapproval level that is average nationwide (62%) is because of a remarkably high […]
Here’s a headline for you:
According to Cheney, the House of Representatives doesn’t “support the troops” because they voted in favor of a binding resolution to withdraw them from Iraq by August 31st, 2008. Here’s the thing. Turns out the majority of Americans disagree with the Vice President.
According to a March 14-15 Newsweek poll, when respondents […]
The results of the latest Newsweek/Princeton Survey Research Associates International poll, released March 17th.
Some interesting polls have been done lately. Did you know that…
… 90% of Britons believe their country has become more selfish under Prime Minister Tony Blair?
…. 61% of Americans believe that Anna Nicole Smith’s death received too much media coverage?
… More Americans than ever (52%) believe America is “losing ground” against environmental pollution.
… 52% of […]
According to the latest Newsweek/Princeton Survey Research Associates International poll, President Bush has hit a new net (dis)approval level.
but the state of the Bush administration is at its worst yet, according to the latest NEWSWEEK poll. The president’s approval ratings are at their lowest point in the poll’s history—30 percent—and more than half the country […]
Newsweek has a hilarious and Not To Be Entirely Trusted 2008 poll out. Why do I say “Not To Be Entirely Trusted”? Well, for one it suggests that more Americans would vote for Obama for President than would vote for McCain (WTF?). Naturally, McCain is sagging a bit because of his deeply unpopular Iraq stance, […]
A new AP/Ipsos poll is out today:
Public approval of Congress has edged up a bit now that Democrats are back in control, but it’s still nothing to write home about. Approval for the way Congress is handling its job rose to 32 percent in the latest AP-Ipsos poll, up from a meager 27 percent a […]
Oh boy. The Associated Press has teamed up with their Super Serious Polling Partnertm/New Best Buddytm AOL to provide us with the following poll results:
Six in 10 people think the U.S. will be the victim of another terrorist attack next year, more than five years after the Sept. 11 assault on New York and Washington. […]
Associated Press teamed up with AOL (ugh, you know it can’t be that serious if AOL has anything to do with it) and Ipsos to conduct a poll asking Americans what public figures they must regarded as heros as villians.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, President Bush topped both categories. But what’s more interesting is that while he won […]
According to a new CNN/OPR poll, public support for the President’s handling of the war in Iraq has reached a new low: 28 percent (down from 34% in October, according to CNN/OPR). The President’s overall approval rating sits at 36%, off a point from a poll conducted earlier this month. However, in a sign that […]
