According to a new poll (PDF file), 76% say it's "Understandable it could happen", and only 20% say there was "no excuse for it to happen".
Only 18% view vice president Dick Cheney favorably; 46% say unfavorable.
There's a 46% split on Cheney's explanation for the delay in reporting the hunting accident.
And, two-thirds say there was too much media coverage. Well, I'm sorry.
UPDATE: Did CBS heavily skew the poll respondents towards Democrats and independents in order to get a desired result?
