I’m blogging again behind the scenes here as a volunteer community radio producer for “Sounds of Dissent” at WZBC 90.3 FM in Newton, MA.

Right now, “Sounds of Dissent” host John Grebe is interviewing pollster John Zogby about a recent Zogby poll taken that asked Americans what they think about President Bush’s approval of a wiretapping program that monitored the conversations of American citizens without a FISA court approval.

John Zogby told John Grebe that the polling question (although he “didn’t have it in front of him,” at the time he was asked by John) was:

JZ: “If President Bush wiretapped American Citizens suspected of terrorism without obtaining a warrant, do you agree or disagree that Congress should consider impeachment?”

John Zogby told “Sounds of Dissent” that the polling results found that “52% [of those polled] agreed that Congress should consider impeachment.” And went on to say that this is “a testimonty about how divided the country is about the President.”

What I thought was most striking about the polling results was “29% of Republicans believe that Congress should consider impeachment.” - John Zogby

JZ: “If you have a President who’s job approval rating is 39% . . . and a majority feels that Congress should consider impeachment, then this is a President who is going to have a tough time in 2006.” Noting that this isn’t going to help the Republican Party in the mid-term elections coming up later this year.

Gotta run…
