"Support for Clinton Impeachment Was Much Lower---In August and September of 1998, 16 major polls asked about impeaching
President Clinton.
Only 36% supported hearings to consider impeachment, and only 26%
supported actual impeachment and removal. Even so, the impeachment
debate dominated the news for months, and the Republican Congress
impeached Clinton despite overwhelming public opposition.
Passion for Impeachment is Major Unreported Story
The strong support for impeachment found in this poll is especially
surprising because the views of impeachment supporters are entirely
absent from the broadcast and print media, and can only be found on the
Internet and in street protests. The lack of coverage of impeachment
support is due in part to the fact that not a single Democrat in
Congress has called for impeachment, despite considerable grassroots
activism by groups like Democrats.com." -from Democrats.com. Thanks to Annie Robbins for the tip.
