Eric Holder contempt vote supported by most Americans, poll says
A majority of Americans approve of the House vote to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress, according to a CNN/ORC survey released Monday.

Indeed, 53 percent of respondents looked favorably upon the rebuke of Holder’s unwillingness to hand over documents related to the Fast and Furious gun-walking program, while 33 percent disapproved of the vote. 13 percent had no opinion.

The vote was held, Republicans say, because Holder was not fully compliant with a House subpoena requesting documents related to the Fast and Furious operation. Democrats and the Justice Department counter that the documents withheld are internal deliberations that have, by tradition, been kept private throughout past administrations of both parties.
