Some public opinion polls - a two-fer

| No Comments
First from [CNS News](http://cnsnews.com/news/article/michael-w-chapman/gallup-only-25-satisfied-direction-country): > **Gallup: Only 25% Satisfied With Direction of Country**
A new poll shows that one-in-four Americans, 25%, are satisfied with the direction of the country at this time but 74% expressed dissatisfaction. > > In the [survey](http://www.gallup.com/poll/169295/satisfaction-direction-remains.aspx), which Gallup has done regularly since 1979, Americans were asked this question: “In general, are you satisfied or dissatisfied with the way things are going in the United States at this time?” > Second from [CNS News](http://cnsnews.com/mrctv-blog/barbara-boland/poll-67-approve-congress-creating-special-committee-benghazi): > **Poll: 67% Approve of Congress Creating Special Committee on Benghazi**
Two-thirds (67%) of Americans approve of Congress' creation of a special committee to investigate the incidents surrounding the Benghazi attacks on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya that killed four Americans including Ambassador Chris Stevens, according to a new [Fox News poll](http://www.foxnews.com/politics/interactive/2014/05/14/fox-news-poll-what-voters-think-obama-benghazi-scandal/). Only 28% disapproved of the probe. > > Fully 72% also said they thought that the Obama administration deserved the blame for the security failings that led to the death of the four Americans in Benghazi, with half of those assigning "a great deal of blame" and half only "some" blame. > > Those polled were asked whether they thought the Obama administration had been "honest with the American people about the events surrounding the Benghazi terrorist attacks or has it tried to deceive people?" While 54% of people said they thought that the administration has tried to deceive people, 38% said that they though the administration was honest. > Sounds like the groundswell is building -- November will be interesting to say the least. People are fed up with the incompetence and gaslighting...
