Zogby responds to call for new impeachment poll

Says he would consider poll if paid

A defiant blogger has taken U.S. pollster John Zogby to task, saying he flip-flopped after stating he would survey the American public again on whether they thought President George W. Bush should be impeached.

Zogby, in turn, told RAW STORY his poll questions are meant to respond to the vagaries of public opinion, not to become part of a “cause celebre.”

Zogby polled Americans in June as to whether they would support impeaching President Bush if it were proved he had misled the nation about his reasons for going to war in Iraq. Forty-two percent said they would support impeaching the president under that condition.

The day the poll was released, Zogby went on MSNBC’s Countdown with Keith Olbermann. When asked whether he would raise the question again, he said: “We'll test it periodically, probably in a month from now. Again, no-one is really talking about it, but it is a good barometric reading.”

Well, Mr. Zogby, is an official Resolution of Inquiry sufficient?

2. Let's change "no one is really talking about it".

I ordered my "Impeach Bush" bumper sticker online. There are several sources. Just Google it. Let's get them out there.

4. it is proved that Bush misled us - read the IWR

The conditions for war were not met per that resolution. Saddam did not make any threats to the United States nor did he interfere with inspectors.

Read the damn IWR Mr Zogby!

7. seems like a reasonable poll question at this point

gosh if 60 or 70% of people wanted the president impeached, do you think anyone would do anything about it, or would it take 100%?
