63% to White House: Share Solyndra documents
Most Americans believe the White House should comply with a subpoena from Congressional committees demanding the White House turn over documents related to the the Obama administration’s $535 million loan guarantees to the now-failed solar energy company Solyndra.
Sixty-three percent of Americans say the White House should comply with the request, while 20% disagreed. Seventeen percent said they had no opinion on the question.
The White House has refused to comply with the request, which a White House counsel recently dismissed as a “vast fishing expedition” and a “significant intrusion on Executive Branch interests.”
Republicans favored White House disclosure of the documents by a 89%-7% margin, Democrats opposed it 35%-34%, and independents called for disclosure 65%-19%.
Poll Position’s scientific telephone survey of 1,179 registered voters nationwide was conducted November 6, 2011 and has a margin of error of ±3%.
