from AlterNet:



The GOP spent much of last week playing up what they say is a scandal stemming from the U.S. government’s response to the attack on the embassy in Benghazi. But most Americans don’t really care anymore--and some don’t even know where Benghazi is located.

A new poll from Public Policy Polling reveals that the 39% of Americans who think that "Benghazi is the biggest political scandal in American history" don't actually know where it is. (it’s in Libya).

Some thought it was in Egypt; others thought it was in Iran; and a handful didn’t even guess.

The poll also reveals that most voters trust former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on the Benghazi issue over Republicans. The majority of voters polled also want Congress to be focused on gun control and immigration rather than the Benghazi attack. Most Republicans, though, think Benghazi is a huge issue, and 74% think the so-called scandal is worse than Watergate. ..................(more)
