Poll: Voters say skip impeachment and focus on electing an opposition Congress

When it comes to keeping President Obama in check, most voters say it would be better to elect an opposition Congress than to pursue impeachment hearings and lawsuits, according to a new poll from Rasmussen Reports.

Fifty-five percent of likely voters say it would be better to elect a Congress that will block or halt the president’s policies than to waste time on lawsuits and impeachment hearings, according to the survey, which was conducted from July 11-12, and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.
