'Fox & Friends' co-host Brian Kilmeade was baffled and 'stunned' by a Fox News poll released Sunday showing that a majority of Americans want President Donald Trump impeached and removed from office.
, most of which was conducted December 8-11 with a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points, found that when it came to the substance of the impeachment articles themselves, 53% of voters said Trump abused his power, while 38% said he didn't.
On the question of whether Trump obstructed Congress, which was asked from December 10-11 with a margin of error of plus or minus 5.5 percentage points, 48% of respondents agreed he had obstructed Congress and 35% disagreed. Half of the voters surveyed said Trump should be impeached and removed from office, 4% believed he should be impeached by the House but not removed by the Senate, and 41% said he shouldn't be impeached at all.
Trump has frequently railed against Fox News' polling operation for releasing unfavorable polling results, and did so in a Sunday tweet, falsely accusing the poll of being "inaccurate" and "heavily weighted toward Dems." It is unclear what Kilmeade was referring to in claiming that public opinion was trending away from supporting Trump's impeachment.
As of December 16, FiveThirtyEight's tracker showed 47.6% supporting Trump's impeachment and removal and 46.2% opposing it.
