YAWN...Gallup Finds Public Attention To Scandals BELOW Average

* PUBLIC ATTENTION TO SCANDALS BELOW AVERAGE: Gallup finds that while slim majorities say they’re paying attention to the Benghazi and IRS stories, that’s actually lower than the public’s historic attention to major news stories. Gallup also finds that slim majorities think both stories merit further investigation, but it’s unclear what that means in the case of Benghazi: it could mean the public wants more of a look at security lapses.
