Polls are funny things, they’re very unpredictable, and the political leanings of the person or group performing the poll can have a lot to do with the outcome.
Two days ago, The Gateway Pundit reported about the surprising recent Fox News poll that showed 51% of Americans favor impeaching President Trump over the Democrat’s latest manufactured Ukrainian phone call scandal.
Most Americans who support Trump found the Fox News poll to be unbelievable. As it turns out, the poll is not to be believed. What most Fox News supporters don’t know, is that the poll was conducted by Amanda Danielle Braun, a left-wing, LGBTQ radical activist, who was a regional organizing director, in Reading, Pa., for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign. She also graduated from Hillary’s alma mater, Wellesley College.
What most Americans don’t know is that the Fox News poll was weighted by 14 points in favor of Democrats.
As if that wasn’t bad enough, Fox News rigged the poll to get that “51%” result by under-sampling the independent voters who are staunchly against impeachment.

Another thing the Fox News poll doesn’t tell everyone is a key fact about Independent voters, who accounted for 34% of the voter in 2016.
47% of Independent voters answered “no,” when asked if they thought President Trump should be impeached, and only 39% said, “yes.”
Breaking down @FoxNews Impeachment Poll, very misleading!
