Half of the country is dissatisfied with the Obama administration’s handling of the September attack in Benghazi, Libya that left four Americans dead, but a solid majority rejects the notion that the White House misled the American public on what transpired, according to a CNN/ORC International poll released Wednesday.
On the heels of a scathing report released Tuesday by an independent panel that highlighted a litany of failures on the part of the State Department in the lead-up to the attack on the diplomatic mission in Benghazi, the poll shows that 50 percent of Americans are dissatisfied with the way the administrationhave handled the matter. Forty-three percent are satisfied.
But 56 percent of respondents said they do not believe the White House has “intentionally misled” the public about the attack, compared with 40 percent who believe it has.
