The Gallup Poll finds Americans divided down the middle on the AGs investigation of interrogation of terrorism suspects. The most interesting part of the poll, to me anyway, is the breakdown by party. Republicans and Democrats line up as expected, but the increasingly important Independents break 55-40 disapproving the investigation. There is also this nugget:
Notably, opposition to the investigation runs much higher among the attentive public -- Americans who say they follow news about national politics "very closely." Among this group, 36% approve and 63% disapprove of the investigation. On the other hand, a majority of Americans who follow national political news less closely approve of the investigation.
