63% of Americans believe Bush did something either illegal (21%)

or unethical (42%), while 28% say he did nothing wrong. While many more Democrats are critical, 3 in 10 Republicans also find that Bush did something illegal or unethical.

The more closely people are following the issue, the more likely they are to say he did something illegal rather than merely unethical.

The poll, conducted April 7-9, 2006, shows that just 25% of Americans are following the matter "very" closely, while another 39% are following the issue "somewhat" closely. Another 36% are not following the issue closely at all.

1. The scandals are coming so fast; had to look up which one you mean...

It's Traitorgate (the CIA leak case).

2. I'm just relieved people are paying attention at all

The entire leak story has been spread out over years without resolution, so I find the 25% 'following very closely' number to be very encouraging, particularly when combined with the 'somewhat closely' group.

That first set of numbers corresponds pretty closely with the percentages of Americans who identify as liberal, moderate or conservative.
