Sixty-five percent of Americans say Obama should not be impeached, compared to just 33 percent who say he should. Very one-sided. It's clear that impeachment is a political loser when it comes to the public as a whole.
Which is why when former Alaska governor Sarah Palin called for impeaching Obama and top Republican candidates were asked whether they agreed, not a single one said yes.
But some of them were silent or ambiguous. Why? Because of the second key number from the CNN poll -- 57 percent of Republicans say they back impeachment.
