Obama Off to Solid Start, Poll Finds -- But Release of Memos on Detainee Interrogations Reveals Deep Partisan Split

It is more than a partisan split. It was a mistake.

As I noted in a 4-24-09 post entitled "I would not have done the release: In Obama's Inner Circle, Debate Over Memos' Release Was Intense -- Fear That an Outcry Could Obstruct Larger Agenda ,"

From The Washington Post:

Barack Obama's performance in the first 100 days of his presidency draws strong public approval in a new Washington Post-ABC News poll, but there is decidedly less support for his recent decision to release previously secret government memos on the interrogation of terrorism suspects, an initiative that reveals deep partisan fissures.
