CBS Poll: 36% Say Gonzales Should Quit
Two-Thirds Of Those Following News Do Not Believe Attorney General In Firings Firestorm

NEW YORK, April 19, 2007

<snip>

(CBS) According to a CBS News Poll conducted last week, nearly two-thirds of those who are following developments in the Justice Department firings of eight U.S. Attorneys do not think Attorney General Alberto Gonzales is telling the truth about the dismissals.

Of those who are paying attention, large majorities of Democrats and Independents (80 percent and 71 percent, respectively) do not think Gonzales is being honest, compared to 55 percent of Republicans who think he is.

Of all Americans, 36 percent think Gonzales should resign or be removed from his post as a result of the firings; 28 percent think he should not, while just over a third is unsure. But among all who are closely following the story, more than half — 52 percent — think Gonzales should resign.

So let me get this straight... if you take all Americans, including freepers, derelicts and home shopping couch potatoes, over one third think Gonzo should go. But if you take those of us who actually care enough about this country to pay attention to what is happening to it, over half, a majority, think Gonzo should resign.

Have I got that right???

1. this means two things

1 - sloppy reporting, trying to save Gonzo's ass
2 - if you take the undecided, inform them, and break them down according to the same percentage between Yes and No, I bet you get the same results.

I guess this means that that 1/3 are being honest about being uninformed.
