(CNN) -- Only one in 10 Americans said they believe Bush administration officials did nothing illegal or unethical in connection with the leaking of a CIA operative's identity, according to a national poll released Tuesday.

Thirty-nine percent said some administration officials acted illegally in the matter, in which the identity of Valerie Plame, a CIA operative, was revealed.

The same percentage of respondents in the CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll said Bush administration officials acted unethically, but did nothing illegal.

SNORT. Most Americans couldn't tell you what the heck the whole thing's about!

[eureka!]

This was the whole point in the "story". Sigh...

[tioga]

most americans don't care what the whole thing is about.......

[Dog Gone]

In other words, 49% think the Administration did nothing illegal, 39% think they did, and the rest are undecided.

And we get this headline.

[mewzilla]

Don't know, don't care. Sigh.

[Rudder]

50% of all americans have an IQ of 100 or lower.

[mewzilla]

Lies, darned lies, and statistics.

[michigander]

most americans don't care what the whole thing is about.......

Indeed.

Only one in ten pollsters actually interviewed an American.The other nine interviewed each other.

A survey/poll by CNN of CNN viewers is meaningless. CNN has been beating the guilty drums for weeks, naming "sources" and drawing wild conclusions. CNN has been telling us that Bush/Rove/Libby are guilty of a non-crime and now they have news to say that people believe them. This is classical "stuck on stupid".

AND THERE YOU HAVE IT FOLKS! Tell the big lie again and again and even if no one gets indicted, the press has made ingrained 'their' story in the mindless masses.

Of course;

The antique media and the left smelled the blood in the water coming out of Katrina and the thinker the blood gets (Brown, Miers, Plame gate, approaching 2'000 dead in Iraq) the more sharks that come to feed.

and no one in the U S outside the Special Counsel's office has enough information to make a judgment. what foolishness!

[weegee]

The author of the law says it wasn't in violation.

But then CNN loves to engage in Zogbyism.

This is just evidence that the media is very successful when they lie about the WH. Remember when the libs whined and moaned about some ivy league school poll which showed that 89% of Americans thought that Saddam was connected to 9/11? This just made the libs crazy so they claimed that Bush TOLD America this categorically and wanted to impeach him for 'lying?'

Sounds like we have a real case of what they never had, a real lie. CNN has convinced 9 out of 10 of their viewers that the WH has committed a crime. No need to actually have evidence or even have an indictment. Looks like they are guilty of the same thing they accuse us of. Their transgressions speak loudly in accusation.

Exactly!!!!!

[Dilbert56]

The Truth is not subject to a democratic vote. Either a crime was committed or not. Opinions don't change that.

[Huck]

Elitist.

How many of these 39% still believe that Bill Clinton didn't have sex with Monica Lewinsky? There were many hold outs who believed he was innocent until he got on television and admitted he did "something".
