SNIP:
CNN poll: 59% approve of GOP handling of Benghazi scandal
posted at 12:01 pm on May 20, 2013 by Ed Morrissey
Last week, voices in the media began warning Republicans about overreaching on scandal investigations involving the IRS and especially Benghazi. Beware of the backlash! came the whispers among Republicans, and predictions of political damage came from other quarters. According to a new CNN poll, however, the investigation into Benghazi polls higher than most other Republican initiatives have in the last several years — and even better than the opening round of the probe into the IRS scandal (via John Nolte at Breitbart):
But a CNN/ORC International survey released Sunday morning also indicates that congressional Republicans are not overplaying their hand when it comes to their reaction to the three controversies that have consumed the nationÂ’s capital over the past week and a half. And the poll finds that a majority of Americans take all three issues seriously. Â…
Republicans have ripped the administration for not providing adequate security for the Benghazi mission, botching the response to it, and misleading the public for political gain with the attack coming less than two months before last NovemberÂ’s presidential election.
According to the poll, 44% say statements made by the Obama administration soon after the attack were an attempt to intentionally mislead the public. Half of those questioned say those statements reflected what the Obama administration believed, at the time, had occurred.
But 59% now say that the U.S government could have prevented the attack in Benghazi, up 11 points from last November. And only 37% say that congressional Republicans are overreacting in their handling of the matter, with 59% saying theyÂ’ve reacted appropriately.
ItÂ’s the same story on the IRS controversy, with 54% saying the GOP in Congress has not overplayed its hand.
The IRS scandal registers very high across the board with Americans. More than half (55%) consider it “very important,” with the same percentage among independents and 69% of Republicans agreeing. Only 46% of Democrats agree that it’s very important, but when combined with “somewhat important,” the numbers tend to get pretty close — 79% of Democrats, 87% of independents, and 90% of Republicans. The same pattern holds up for the AP scandal, even before the revelation about Rosen, with 86% of Democrats, 84% of independents, and 93% of Republicans considering it very or somewhat important.
