From Gallup:

No Mandate for Criminal Probes of Bush Administration


From USA Today:

Poll: Most want inquiry into anti-terror tactics

The poll is skewed heavily to the left on the criminal investigation question because liberals, almost to a man, want to see Bush in jail. I find it interesting that a clear majority do not want criminal investigations – unexpected given all the rancid rhetoric from the left for 8 years.
