That's neat and all, but here's the actually interesting part of the article:

The poll also found major partisan divisions on whether it's acceptable for Republican politicians to "body-slam" reporters. Among Trump voters, 42 percent said it was appropriate for politicians to body-slam reporters, while 45 percent said it was inappropriate.

Do you understand how sample sizes work?

And regardless:
http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/pdf/2017/PPP_Release_National_61217.pdf

Public Policy Polling surveyed 811 registered voters between June 9th and 11th. The margin of error is +/-3.4%. 80% of participants, selected through a list based sample, responded via the phone, while 20% of respondents who did not have landlines conducted the survey over the internet through an opt-in internet panel.

no, it is. 811 people is not significant to extrapolate that statement. What if they were 10? Would you still think it was technically right?

So Trump has a 41% approval rating, and 47% want to impeach him? Seems like he's really polarizing. Or maybe he just brings out the worst in Liberals.

Also, screw that guy that bodyslammed the reporter. He should have been immediately disqualified from holding a public office. And screw those dumbasses that said it was appropriate for a politician to bodyslam a reporter.

Yes, that is what your OP is implying. The popular vote was a close to a 50/50 popular vote with Hillary having the slight majority. So just a little bit less than all the people that voted for Hillary also now support impeaching Trump. It's just salty Hillary voters. See where I'm going with this?

It's funny because I purposefully didn't respond to that part of your post.
They're reporting on a poll that did indeed find nearly half of registered voters support impeachment. It might be a bit disingenuous to report on a seemingly insignificant poll, but it's not wrong and it's hardly "shitty journalism".

Also, the specific question was "Would you support impeachment" not "Do you support impeachment"

No, not really. 39% of Johnson voters supported impeachment, as well as 63% of Stein voters and even 8% of Trump voters.

Would support impeachment. Not Do support impeachment.

Impeachment proceedings would have to be predicated on Trump committed high crime or treason... and people believing that he actually committed high crime or treason.

The violent right. I remember people praising the body slam in topics when that story broke. Literally saying the guy deserved it for asking a question just because the prick body slamming him was a conservative
