FOX News ^ | April 17, 2014 | By Dana Blanton

Nearly half of American voters think the IRS targeted conservative groups at the request of the White House, and most want Congress to keep investigating the matter.

The latest Fox News poll also finds 69 percent don’t feel President Obama has followed through on his vow to “find out exactly what happened on this.”

By a 49-41 percent margin, voters believe the Obama administration “intentionally had the IRS target conservative political groups.” That includes 26 percent of Democrats, 52 percent of independents and 71 percent of Republicans.

Overall, 72 percent of voters disagree with the president when he says there is not even a “smidgen” of corruption regarding the IRS targeting conservative groups.

The bigger news here is that, despite all of the evidence, 51% think they didn’t.

It shows just how uninformed the average American really is.

There are plenty of Americans who think that conservatives should be targeted by the IRS.

The numbers need further analysis. I encountered a person who believes that the White House was targeting the Tea Party and he thought it was a great idea.
