As I said before, Barack Obama as most liberals is bound to over play his hand. Tonight CNN posted a poll which showed America is split on whether Gitmo should be closed.

“WASHINGTON (CNN) – A new national poll suggests Americans are split over whether the U.S. should close the detention facility in Guantanamo Bay. But the CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Wednesday indicated that support for closing the detention facility has increased dramatically since 2005.

Fifty-one percent of those questioned in the survey support the closing of prison at Guantanamo Bay, with 47 percent against the closing. That’s basically a split, when taking into account the survey’s sampling error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

But the 51 percent who support the closing of the facility is a 15 point increase from 2005, when 36 percent polled backed the shutting down of prison at Guantanamo Bay. The 47 percent who are against the closing is down 11 points from 2005, when 58 percent opposed closing the facility.”

While the number supporting a closure since 2005 is up, it’s more of a matter of Americans desiring some justice, some closure. Yet when you add the next question of “Where do they go?” and then add, “How about your town?”

The dynamics of support change drastically.
