Public expects gridlock if Democrats pick up seats

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Americans foresee "more gridlock" in government if Democrats take over the House and/or the Senate after elections this fall, a CNN poll shows.

And while the poll shows a majority of Americans would favor probes by a Democratic Congress into Bush administration actions, most Americans oppose impeaching President Bush.


Fifty-seven percent of the respondents said they think it would be good for the country "if the Democrats in Congress were able to conduct official investigations into what the Bush administration has done in the past six years." Forty-one percent said such probes would be bad for the country. Half of the sample was asked this question, also.

At the same time, 69 percent said Bush should not be impeached or removed from office, with 30 percent saying he should be impeached or removed from office. One percent had no opinion. A total of 1,004 adults was asked the questions about impeachment.

1. Well, the investigation that 57% want is the first step, the step

that would provide the ammunition for the impeachment.

Once the public sees what the invstigation turns up, 70% will support impeachment--always assuming the investigation is competent, of course. One step at a time.

Turnabout is fair play.

6. I think the Bush way would be to fit waterboarding in there some where too?

Just saying...

7. waterboard, try, waterboard, convict, waterboard, hang, waterboard

I know that I am unread, but I had never even heard of waterboarding until bush came along. Thanks bush!

3. And the rest of them

cant get their heads out of their asses long enough to read the question.

4. Seems like the first thing they should do is resubscribe to the

International Court of Justice. Apparently the order withdrawing from the Court allowed for military invasion of Netherlands in case any Americans are taken into custody in the Hague.

5. Gee, why don't the Republicans investigate?

I mean, if there's been some kind of misconduct being done by the Bush administration, it isn't really a partisan thing, is it? Or are the Republicans suddenly big fans of situational ethics?

8. I guess when they wrote this article they somehow missed

this long running MSNBC impeachment poll in which 86% of the current 309,237 respondents favor impeachment. Eh, probably just an oversight. These things happen, especially when the MSM generally falls all over itself trying to appease the Fascist Decider In Charge!

11. I would think it would be number one priority

Let Feingold lead the investigations... He is good at it....

12. Bad for the country, how? People are stupid. eom
