Do you agree or disagree that if President Bush is found guilty of violatingthe law against wiretapping American citizens, he should be impeached?
Agree-- impeach Bush if guilty 53.7
Disagree 42.5

We believe it is the first full poll commissioned by a progressive website (Bob Fertik and David Swanson of impeachPAC, afterdowningstreet and democrats.com get credit for piggybacking polling questions on impeachment onto existing polls first and we understand the mydd.com also ran a poll that is being released today too. .)

Some boilerplate we want to be clear about.
One of the reasons we went with Zogby was because we wanted to get real information, not just another internet poll. We wanted to see the stats when a professional, non-partisan pollster did the polling and helped in the design of the questions, so they would not be skewed to set up answers. The Zogby company's position is that Zogby is a public opinion research company, not a progressive nor a conservative pollster. They do not advocate. They do work for clients who hire them, regardless of their political persuasion, and they provide the clients with objective data that may or may not benefit their cause. A Zogby spokesman made it clear to me, We do not skew results to fit the desires of our clients. And that's what OpEdNews wants. The truth.

Poll Methodology:
Zogby International conducted interviews of 850 likely voters online. Panelists who have agreed to participate in Zogby polls online were invited to participate in the survey. The online poll ran from 1/26/06 through 1/27/06. The margin of error is +/- 3.8 percentage points. Margins of error are higher in sub-groups. Slight weights were added to party, age, race, religion, and gender to more accurately reflect the population.
