The Homa Files

That’s the question that a couple of pollsters asked Americans … with predictable results
=============

According to a Hill-HarrisX poll taken before the Congressional vote:

• 44% support Trump’s impeachment and removal from office
• 18% think that Trump should be censured
• 38% said no action should be taken toward him.

• 79% of Democrats said Trump should be impeached and removed
• 71% of Republicans said no action should be taken
• 38% of Independents think that Trump should be impeached & removed; 36% think that nothing should be done; 26% think that Trump should be censured.

==============

A Politico-Morning Consult poll had similar findings:

Overall, 44% said ‘yes’; 41% said “no”; and 8% said “what?”

Digging into the details:

>  81% of Dems said ‘yes’; 84% of GOP said “no”

> A plurality of Independents (44%) said “no”; 41% said “yes”.

============

So what happened?

Consistent with the surveys’ partisan findings:

> 222 Dems voted for impeachment

>  10 GOP voted for impeachment

> 197 GOP voted against impeachment

Depending on political leaning, the vote is being headlined as either “bipartisan approval” … or “party line vote”.

You decide.

Regardless, Biden’s First 100 Days just got a bit more complicated.
