A poll published Tuesday shows that close to 40% of Americans favor the impeachment of President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney, according to an article at Townhall.com.

"Few serious observers think things will ever get to actual impeachment. And yet the American public seems more open to the concept than many imagine, according to a new national poll," wrote Matt Towery, CEO of InsiderAdvantage, which commissioned the poll. "The implications of this public sentiment could be huge for the 2008 presidential elections."

The poll from InsiderAdvantage/Majority Opinion asked a sample of 621 Americans, "Would you favor or oppose the impeachment by Congress of President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney?"

A total of 39% who answered said they favored impeachment, according to Towery. In opposition were 55% of respondents, with 6% answering undecided or don't know. There was a 4% margin of error.

Towery noted that a high proportion of independent voters, who traditionally decide elections, favored impeachment.

"Forty-two percent of independents want Bush and Cheney impeached. These aren't just voters who disapprove of the White House. Instead, they're for initiating a process that could remove them from office," he wrote.

InsiderAdvantage has "been praised by national media ranging from CNN’s Judy Woodruff to Fox News’s Bill O’Reilly, and have appeared in Knight-Ridder newspapers, The Washington Post, Washington Times, New York Post, Business Week, US News and World Report, and CBS News/CBS Marketwatch," according to the company's website.

How many votes do they need? Is it fifty percent plus one? Or is it some other number? The crazy thing is that Bush was elected by less than half the eligible voters...

I like W. He has backbone.

In order to convict him in the senate, I think they need two thirds of the vote?

39%..

and the other 61% said "Who's that?"

But seriously more than half (55%)said they were opposed to it.

Was that 55% of the voters, or 55% of the voters who responded?

the other 61% want Chaney to shot him in a "hunting accident....

It was 2 and half of the people they polled outside of the WalMart in BFE Kentucky.

I would like the bastard to be impeached as well.

What are the charges?

Bestiality in the first degree.

Who would lead the USA if both Bush and Cheney were impeached and then convicted of whatever the charge was?

True, he has the guts to laugh at the america's face, i admit he has backbone.

The whole bush family should be brought down on the street, and the citizen should make them pay really high for what they have done to them.

What do you mean?

Can't say I remember George, Laura or the their twins doing anything to me yet.

You need to get that Bush Derangement Syndrome looked into Logic, before you pop a blood vessel.

Speaker of the House - Nancy Pelosi - Democrat.

Don't ask complicated questions.

Walter Walter,Walter,

If Bush has "backbone" as you say, then why did he go AWOL with the Texas National Guard? ( of course joining the Guard to avoid going to Vietnam.) Unlike today, joining the Guard back then was a sure "out" of going into battle. He's a chickenhawk. Heck, he was even afraid to throw out the first pitch on baseball's opening day for fear of getting booed.

I agree that bush should be impeached. I believe they could charge him with war crimes and many other things.

They impeached Clinton for lying...

...or is a lie only a lie if it is told under oath?
