Poll: 4 in 10 Say Congress Should Begin Impeachment Proceedings on Biden:
Four in ten likely voters believe Congress should begin impeachment proceedings on President Joe Biden, a Rasmussen Reports survey revealed on Thursday.
The survey found 42 percent of likely voters indicating that Congress should begin impeachment proceedings against Biden, while 45 percent said lawmakers should not. While most Republicans (70 percent) believe Congress should and most Democrats (71 percent) believe Congress should not, independents remain relatively divided. Forty percent of independents do not believe Congress should begin impeachment proceedings on the 80-year-old president, compared to 39 percent who believe lawmakers should do so.
Further, 53 percent across the board believe it is at least somewhat likely that since taking office, Biden has committed “high crimes and misdemeanors that would justify Congress impeaching him.” Of those, 38 percent said it is “very” likely. Notably, more than one-third of Democrats also believe it is at least somewhat likely, as do 48 percent of independents.
However, when asked how likely it is that Congress will pursue impeachment proceedings against Biden, voters have their doubts. Most, 66 percent, believe it is at least not very likely, and of those, 29 percent believe it is “not at all likely.” --->READ MORE HERE

Majority of voters say Biden has committed 'high crimes and misdemeanors' during his presidency, poll says, bolstering Marjorie Taylor Greene's push for impeachment over border chaos:
Most US voters say Joe Biden has likely committed 'high crimes and misdemeanors' since becoming president that would justify the Democrat being impeached, a survey says.
The poll comes as Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Republican congresswoman, introduced articles of impeachment against the president over the migrant crisis at the southern border.
Some 53 percent of survey respondents said they thought Biden had committed impeachable offenses while in office, including 38 percent who called it 'very likely.'
That's up four points since November, according to Rasmussen Reports.
'Negative opinions about Biden scandals have definitely been gathering steam,' said Rasmussen's top pollster Mark Mitchell.
The results were partisan — Republicans see presidential wrongdoing as more likely than do Democrats.
Still, there was better news for the president.
Two thirds of voters said they did not think Congress would take any action toward impeaching Biden, and only 28 percent said they thought proceedings were likely.
'Basically, nobody thinks that the 118th Republican Congress is going to pursue impeachment,' added Mitchell.
House Republicans are investigating Biden, his son Hunter, and other family members, alleging that they engaged in a cash for access bribery scheme with foreign nationals. --->READ MORE HERE
