Special prosecutor for I.R.S. flap? 3 of 4 Americans say yes
President Barack Obama speaks at a fundraiser for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee at the Chicago …By an overwhelming 4-1 margin, Americans say they want a special prosecutor to look into charges that the Internal Revenue Service improperly targeted conservative groups, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday.
Among all voters, support for an independent probe runs 76-17 percent. The figure drops slightly among Democrats, to 63-30 percent.
At the same time, voters say by a lopsided 73-22 percent margin that boosting the economic recovery and creating jobs is more important than investigating the controversies over the IRS, the administration’s handling of the deadly Sept. 11, 2012, terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya, and the Justice Department surveillance of reporters.
The survey is packed with bad news for President Barack Obama: Just 45 percent of respondents say they approve of the job he’s doing, compared to 49 percent who say they disapprove. Those numbers were 48-45 percent in a similar poll conducted before the IRS controversy erupted.
