Americans' views of Richard Clarke are largely determined by who they plan to vote for in November, and although the public thinks that the Bush administration didn't do enough to prevent terrorism before 9/11, they also don't believe that the White House could have prevented 9/11 from happening. The number of Americans who approve of how Bush is handling terrorism has dropped since last year, but a solid majority continues to give Bush a positive grade on terrorism and Iraq. 54% say that the Bush administration did not do all that could be expected on terrorism before 9/11. However, even larger numbers say that the Clinton administration did not do all that could be expected. And two-thirds say that the Bush administration would not have been able to prevent the terrorist attacks on 9/11. Most, however, also say that the White House is covering something up in the 9/11 investigation. Since Richard Clarke's charges were made during an election, it comes as no surprise that the public is as closely divided on his charges as they are on the election itself. 46% say they are more likely to believe the Bush administration; 44% say they are more likely to believe Clarke. Democrats overwhelmingly trust Clarke and Republicans trust Bush by an equally large margin. CNN/USA TODAY/GALLUP POLL March 26-28 More Likely to Believe...
