The folks at Stuff are all tingley-legged over a ‘Fox News’ poll showing ‘record’ support for Donald Trump’s impeachment and removal from office.
Since modern reporters can’t afford time away from their precious Twitbook screens for actual analysis it’s left to mere commoners to do the work for them, so I’ll just say it here; the Fox Poll is complete garbage as it is hopelessly partisan.
If it’s bulldust in, you can guarantee it will be bulldust out. The political affiliation of registered American voters hovers around 30% Democrat, 30% Republican and 40% Independent (the Independents are the people that elect the president, effectively).
From Gallup:
So: what’s the make-up of the ‘Fox Poll’?
Well, well: Democrats are over-represented by a massive 60% (approx), Republicans over-represented by a very large 30% and the all-important Independents under-represented by a huge 70%.
As I said: BS in, BS out. The only figure that really matters is this one:
Only two in five Independent voters support Trump’s impeachment and removal from office, but don’t let the facts ruin your day, Stuff. Keep dreamin’.
