The Monmouth University survey, released Wednesday, was conducted before Tuesday evening’s revelation that Clinton had turned over to the government her personal email server and USB thumb drives containing copies of the emails, following news that at least two emails had been classified as “top secret.”
According to the poll, 52 percent of voters say that Clinton’s emails “should be subject to a criminal investigation for potential release of classified material.”
Republicans overwhelmingly supported a criminal probe, and Democrats were largely against it. Fifty-four percent of independents said that they supported the investigation, a sign of political vulnerabilities Clinton faces in the Democratic presidential nominating contest.Despite the desire for a criminal inquiry, the poll indicated that 51 percent of voters believed Clinton’s use of an in-home email system was a matter of convenience, compared with 38 percent who thought she may have been trying to hide something.
Republicans are paying closest attention to the story, the poll found, though a majority of Democrats and independents also said they had heard a lot about the controversy.
