Poll: 42% Back Impeaching Bush If He Lied Over Iraq

HeadlineJul 01, 2005

A new Zogby polls shows that 42 percent of voters believe Congress should impeach President Bush if it is found that he did not tell the truth about his reasons for going to war with Iraq. While Democrats disproportionately favored impeachment, the poll found twenty-five percent of Republicans would back the measure if it were determined that Bush lied about Iraq. Calls for impeachment have increased since the Sunday Times of London published what is now known as the Downing Street Memo. The memo from the summer of 2002 outlined the Bush administration’s position on Iraq. It said that the invasion of Iraq was inevitable and that “the intelligence and facts were being fixed.”
