'Based on what you know' is this a fair polling question about impeachment?
emptywheel @emptywheel 7hHere are the impeachment questions in that poll everyone is talking about.
The poll literally MAKES UP a false claim abt what impeachment is about. The impeachment is about trying to find evidence that business deals that have not been shown to be illegal had some tie to Biden.
...and this question neglecting to mention McCarthy's impeachment is an unprecedented inquiry held without evidence of any wrongdoing by Pres. Biden.

But the comparison with Trump and Clinton is instructive. Because of media incompetence, there's more support for impeaching Biden BECAUSE there is no evidence than there was for Trump, w/abundant evidence.
