So what exactly is Fox doing? This isn’t reflecting public opinion, it’s trying to shape public opinion.
Via Daily Caller:
President Donald Trump’s campaign criticized a recent Fox News poll that claimed 51% of Americans want him impeached and removed from office, citing a sample size that included significantly more Democrats than Republicans.
“It’s not hard to get 51% in favor of impeachment when nearly half of those polled were Democrats,” a Trump campaign official said in a statement to the Daily Caller. “The media should put this poll where it belongs – in the garbage.”
“51 percent wants Trump impeached and removed from office, another 4 percent want him impeached but not removed, and 40 percent oppose impeachment altogether,” Fox News reported Wednesday, a result that signified a 9 percent jump from July, when the question was last posed.
This appears to be part of the poll that shows how weighted it is to Democrats, but that is not confirmed.

If you look at the poll here, you see that that part of the poll is missing. For some reason, 13-36 are missing, awaiting “further release.” Why is not clear. What is clear is the poll was unfairly weighted, by a good amount.
