... a new survey by Public Policy Polling ... shows 48 percent said they support impeaching Trump compared to 41 percent who don't. Eleven percent said they weren't sure.

Forty-five percent of those polled said they do not think Trump will end up serving his full term as president; 43 percent said he will; 12 percent weren't sure ...

1. Only 48%?

That means an awful lot of Democrats think he should not be impeached, I would think.

3. What is the Statistical Significance of the Poll Sample?

There are polls and then there are polls. Without any information regarding the polling sample, it's difficult if not impossible to predict the poll's actual statistical accuracy.

6. Public Policy Polling surveyed 692 registered voters between May 12th and 14th. The margin of error

is +/- 3.7%. 80% of participants, selected through a list based sample, responded via the phone, while 20% of respondents who did not have landlines conducted the survey over the internet through an opt-in internet panel ...

2. We Need a Special Prosecutor

We need a special prosecutor and full investigation for all of Trump's alleged crimes. No doubt, other high ranking Republicans are deeply involved and they need to be held accountable. If Trump is impeached, we will just be saddled with president Pence, who in many ways is much worse than Trump, while the other co-conspirators and perpetrators will get a pass. Justice demands better.

5. We have Mueller as the special prosecutor. What we also need is...

a separate, independent investigation. This is extremely important. Only then will everyone and everything get completely investigated and in a timely, non partisan manner. There are protests/rallies called #Marchfortruth on June 3 in over 110 cities as well as Wash DC. Indivisible has been making the plans so it's up to US to get the word out.

4. Maybe at least some of the 41 and 11 percenters

don't think Pence would be any better, or they aren't sure.
