President Bush has confidence in his Attorney General. But only one in four Americans who follow Gonzales’ exploits these days would agree, according to a recent poll by SurveyUSA. The survey, which was limited to individuals who say they’ve followed recent news about the Justice Department, found that 58% of those polled have no confidence in Gonzales.

And if Sen. Specter (R-PA) is still on the fence about where to go next, he might consider this: 70% percent of those polled –including 49% of Republicans- think that Congress is right to investigate Gonzales.

Meanwhile, A new Rasmussen survey of likely voters found that 41% of Americans think Gonzales should resign. That number has been holding steady for the last few surveys, with 43% and 39% answering the same way in April and March, respectively.
