Poll: Americans not closely following developments in Benghazi investigation

Fewer than half of all Americans say they are closely following the investigation into the terrorist attack in Benghazi, with interest in the case virtually unchanged from January.

Only 44 percent of those surveyed between Thursday and Sunday by Pew Research say they are following the hearings very or fairly closely, despite a series of new revelations last week that cast new doubts on the Obama Administration's handling of the attack. By contrast, 56 percent of those surveyed say they are not at all or not closely watching the latest developments.

By contrast, two-thirds of Americans said they were following the case closely in the immediate aftermath of the September 11 attacks, which left four Americans dead. But by January, when former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton testified before Congress, just 46 percent of Americans said they were closely monitoring the Benghazi developments.

The survey illustrates some of the difficulty congressional Republicans have had gaining political traction with their investigation. Last week saw testimony from State Department officials on the ground in Libya and the revelation that Foggy Bottom was heavily involved in editing the talking points eventually presented by the Central Intelligence Agency to lawmakers and administration officials.

Which is EXACTLY why the attempted limited hang-out over the IRS thing was shooting himself in both feet, and the arse.

I am one who is not following this news because I don’t watch or listen to the news. What I follow are web sites like this and others where I can find out the truth of the news.

Most of those not following Benghazigate don’t care.

And they don't follow Benghazigate because they don't care.

As long as the 47% get to keep their free "Obama Foams" and the EBT cards keep recharging they're happy with Obama.
