TPM Readers are telling us that on Hardball Andrea Mitchell just said that polls show the public supports a pardon of Scooter Libby. Were you watching Hardball? Did you hear her say that?
Late Update: TPM Reader MK says she TIVOed it and the exact quote was “and appeal to the polling which indicates that most people think, in fact, that he should be pardoned, Scooter Libby should be pardoned.” We’ll work on confirming that and getting you video. But where’d Andrea hear that? My impression is that that’s wildly at odds with the actual polling data. More soon.
Later Update: TPM Reader NA and NG heard it too.
Still Later Update: I’m curious where Mitchell heard her numbers. Maybe the EOP poll? CNN came up with 18% of Americans supporting a pardon and 69% opposing.
