Polling Gitmo

Proving once again, that either the Democrats are politically stupid about where the public stands on terrorists, or they really do prefer to stand up for lenient treatment of terrorists on a matter of “principle”. Michelle Malkin posts Gerry Daly on the Gitmo poll.

- As you may know, since 2001, the United States has held people from other countries who are suspected of being terrorists at a detention facility in Guantanamo Bay in Cuba. Based on what you have heard or read, do you think the US should continue to operate this facility or do you think the US should close this facility and transfer the prisoners to other facilities?

Continue to operate: 58
Close facility: 36
No opinion: 6

- In general, do you approve or disapprove of the way the US is treating the prisoners being held at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba?

Approve: 52
Disapprove: 37
No opinion: 11

- Do you approve/disapprove strongly, or not strongly?

Approve, strongly: 33
Approve, not strongly: 19
Disapprove, not strongly: 14
Disapprove, strongly: 23
No opinion: 11

As one of her reader notes, some of that public probably disapproves because they feel the treatment is too lenient. So the part of the public that prefers light treatment of terrorists is exceedingly small.
