81% Are Still Confident in Secret Service’s Protection of the First Family
Voters remain confident in the Secret Service’s protection of President Obama and his family despite the recent scandal involving several agents and prostitutes they hired while on duty in Colombia. They have mixed feelings at this point whether the agents involved in the incident should be criminally prosecuted.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 31% of Likely U.S. Voters believe the Secret Service agents involved in the prostitute incident should face criminal charges, but slightly more (38%) disagree. A sizable number (30%) aren’t sure at this point.
The survey of 1,000 Likely U.S. Voters was conducted on April 18-19, 2012 by Rasmussen Reports.
