A Majority of House Democrats Do Not Support Impeachment.

14. Impeachment is a process, thus the problem with these polls & all discussions-- unconscionable

Many on those polls and in these discussions believe "impeachment" means taking the actual VOTE. Thus such poll results are not surprising when that is not where we are at or what should be the question, at all.


If you asked if hearings should continue that MIGHT lead to an impeachment VOTE, the answers WOULD be starkly different.

If you actually called these hearings "impeachment inquiries" but prefaced that they may or may NOT lead to a vote to impeach, the answers would be starkly different.

If you actually called these hearings "impeachment hearings" but again prefaced that they may or may NOT lead to a vote to impeach, the answers would likely be less dramatic but still different.

Impeachment is a process and we, our less biased media allies, and Congress itself have done a piss poor job both discussing it as such and differentiating where we are at now.
