Poll: Americans remain opposed to closing the Guantanamo Bay prison

Opposition to closing Gitmo is basically unchanged in the last six months. Sixty-four percent oppose closing Gitmo and bringing the terrorists here.

According to Gallop polling,

PRINCETON, NJ -- Americans remain opposed to closing the Guantanamo Bay prison in Cuba and moving some of the terrorist suspects being held there to U.S. prisons: 30% favor such actions, while 64% do not. These attitudes could present a significant roadblock for President Obama at a time when he seeks congressional approval to move terrorist suspects from Guantanamo to a converted state prison in northwestern Illinois.
