Washington (CNN) - Americans are giving the White House low marks for how it's handled the terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, and the resignation of former CIA Director David Petraeus, according to a new national survey.
But according to a CNN/ORC International poll released Tuesday, a majority of the public doesn't believe the Obama administration intentionally tried to mislead Americans on the September attack that left the U.S. ambassador to Libya and three other Americans dead. And the survey also indicates a plurality have a positive opinion of Petraeus and are divided on whether the former top U.S. should have resigned as CIA director after acknowledging an extra-marital affair.

On Libya, 54% of the country is dissatisfied with the administration's response to the Benghazi attack, with only four in ten saying they're satisfied with the way the White House handled the matter.
"But that dissatisfaction is not because Americans see a cover-up," said CNN Polling Director Keating Holland. "Only 40% believe that the inaccurate statements that administration officials initially made about the Benghazi attack were an attempt to deliberately mislead the public. Fifty-four percent think those inaccurate statements reflected what the White House believed to be true at the time."

Another reason the public is divided on whether Petraeus should have resigned may be that most Americans don't think that adultery should be a crime under military law, and even fewer believe it should be a criminal offense for civilians, with that number dropping since the last time the question was asked in 1997.

"The CNN poll was conducted by ORC International from November 16-18, with 1,023 adult Americans questioned by telephone. The survey's overall sampling error is plus or minus three percentage points."
An indication as to how far up Obama's ass the media lives.
So, the question was last asked in 1997. Now let's see.....what well known public figure's adulterous affair with a woman half his age prompted CNN to ask the question back then?
Well, since no one in the WH has yet told the truth on Benghazi, why would anyone with a brain answer such a poll? So, can we assume that 54% of those polled don’t have a brain any more?
Most people think Ben Gahzi is the new judge on American Idol.
“He’s a crappy POTUS, but, but he really *cares* about us....”
Too many people have given up on the courage of their convictions for a smarmy attitude of “go along to get along.”
54% of the people are idiots.
The poll was loaded in Obama’s favor ..... just like the election.
That means it's biased in favor of Dems.
“Fifty-four percent think those inaccurate statements reflected what the White House believed to be true at the time.”
Things like this indicate precisely how dictators come to power over a gullible electorate.
0bama was notified immediately and automatically when the Benghazi consulate triggered the "Imminent Danger Notification System" alert. He did nothing.

Denial of requests for security were a dereliction of duty. The lies and misdirection about the "video" after the attack were fraud and malfeasance under the color of authority. The inaction during the attack was something more than that.
The failure to act during the attack is the direct equivalent of desertion IMO.
ONE man had the authority to act that night.
ONE man deserted his post!
EXCLUSIVE: CIA operators were denied request for help during Benghazi attack, sources say
0bama abandoned his post. 0bama Is A Deserter!
” - - - So, you can fool 54% of the people 100% of the time. - - - “
Yup. Same % that was fooled on 11-6-2012.
let’s see now, the young, the Hispanics, young women, blacks, and those on the dole elected Obama.....just the group I want leading America!!!
Well, you voted to reelect this clown, you idiots.
Why is it that I get so confused with lousy reporting:
.................................On Libya, 54% of the country is dissatisfied with the administration’s response to the Benghazi attack, with only four in ten saying they’re satisfied with the way the White House handled the matter.
“But that dissatisfaction is not because Americans see a cover-up,” said CNN Polling Director Keating Holland. “Only 40% believe that the inaccurate statements that administration officials initially made about the Benghazi attack were an attempt to deliberately mislead the public.

???Are these all the same 54% and 40%???
54% are dissatisfied with Zer0’s response (ok so far), but later, 54% believe that Zer0 said what they thought was true. Huh???
Then, four in ten (40%)said that they were satisfied with the way Zer0 handled the situation, but then 40% believed that Zer0 tried to lie to the public. Huh??
All this garbage is self eliminating and non-sensible. Unless, 54% were dissatisfied with Zer0 response, and then 40% of the dissatisfied 54% thought that he lied. If so that means only 22% of the respondents thought that Zer0 fostered a lie.
I don’t believe that 78% of the public give Zer0 the benefit of the doubt!
Obama’s false narrative that he ended the war on terror got 4 Americans killed, and helped get Obama re-elected. Obama knew this because he had his puppets parrot that fictional whopper about an internet video being responsible.
