Retro PollAt least one in three Americans believe that George W. Bush should face impeachment for misleading the public and Congress about Saddam's weapons of mass destruction to create support for war on Iraq.

Currently 47% of those polled know that Saddam's Iraq had no connection to the 9/11 attacks, up from 36% in a Retro Poll last April. Of that 47% who are now clear on this fact, 52% favored impeachment. Even more dramatic was the strength of support for impeachment among those who know that the Al Qaeda-Saddam connection was also a media-government fabrication, based on little evidence. Of the still small 32% who know that Saddam Hussein and Al Qaeda were never partners a whopping 73% favor impeachment and 78% think the U.S. should not have invaded Iraq. (54% of the total sample said the U.S. should not have invaded Iraq which is consistent with recent findings of major polling organizations).
...
The poll sampled 165 persons from 38 states. 51% were women and 49% men. 61.5% had European-American backgrounds, 11.5% African American, 12.2 % Latino, 1.3 % Native American, 1.9% Asian-Pacific, 9% decline to state. Highest state sampling included California (10.8%), New York (8.9%), Texas (7.6%), Ohio (5.7%), Illinois (5.1%), Pennsylvania and New Jersey (4.4%).
