USA: A majority overall would like to see Biden impeached
A new Rasmussen poll has found that for the first time a majority of voters want to see Joe Biden impeached. Perhaps the most startling aspect of the survey is that almost a third of Democrats either strongly or somewhat support the notion.
Less than half of Democrats surveyed strongly oppose the idea, with a total of 32 percent expressing support for impeachment.
Should Biden be impeached?
DEMOCRAT VOTERS:
Strongly support – 20%
Somewhat support – 12%
Somewhat oppose – 14%
Strongly oppose – 49%https://t.co/Wz9VGvZFi0#ImpeachBiden pic.twitter.com/6WWGdZRKo9— Rasmussen Reports (@Rasmussen_Poll) September 8, 2022
Overall, a majority of 53 percent back impeachment, up from 50 percent at the beginning of the year:
Impeach Joe Biden?
Donald Trump was impeached, twice.
50% of all voters supported Biden's impeachment back in January. Now that's 53%
But only 45% (now 47%) of all voters think Republicans will actually do it if they retake the House this November. Voters know 'The DC GOP.' pic.twitter.com/ldTxBp7u9j

Support for impeachment is even higher among independent voters:

However, voters have little confidence that such a scenario could unfold:
Only 21% of voters think it is very likely the GOP will impeach Biden.

The survey found that a third of Republicans said it was unlikely that the GOP would vote to impeach.
Back in January, Senator Ted Cruz announced that he is of the opinion that the Republican party could bring impeachment proceedings against Joe Biden, should the GOP win control of the House again in the mid terms.
During his own Podcast, titled “The Verdict,” Cruz said “I do think there is a chance of that,” reasoning that “Whether it’s justified or not… the Democrats weaponized impeachment.”
Cruz continued, “They used it for partisan purposes to go after Trump because they disagreed with him. And one of the real disadvantages of doing that… is the more you weaponize it and turn it into a partisan cudgel.”
“You know what’s good for the goose is good for the gander,” Cruz urged.
“I said at the time when we had a Democratic president and a Republican House, you can expect an impeachment proceeding. That’s not how impeachment is meant to work, but I think the Democrats crossed that line,” the Senator added.
