Newsweek: New Poll Claims Over Half of Americans Want Congress to Impeach Trump

Did Newsweek just post this today? The current polling question should be, "Do you think President Trump should be removed from office under the 25th Amendment?" As impeachment inquiry leader Rep. Dan Goldman said in a video, we're beyond the point of impeachment now.

Let's check out the piece and see what percentage constitutes "over half of Americans," as well as who conducted the poll and what they want Trump impeached for.

Jesus Mesa reports:

Fifty-two percent of registered voters back impeachment compared to 40 percent opposed, according to the survey of 790 voters commissioned by two groups opposing his Iran war and other policies. The finding includes one in seven Republicans supporting removal proceedings.

The survey's two sponsors were Impeach Trump. Again. and Free Speech For People, two progressive advocacy groups.

Newsweek is reporting on a poll of 790 registered voters sponsored by two anti-Trump organizations. And saying "over half of Americans."

Did they conduct the poll at a No Kings rally to boot?

Newsweek reports that the poll has a margin of error of 3.9 percent, enough to swing the result the other way.

Newsweek actually got a lot of engagement out of this clickbait, so we guess it worked.
