Poll: Public views FBI’s handling of Petraeus matter more unfavorably than it views Petraeus

In the wake of his resignation as Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, nearly a third of all Americans now hold unfavorable views of former general David Petraeus, a once wildly popular public figure, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.

Still, positive views of the general outweigh negative ones (45 to 32 percent), and there is a more unfavorable impression of the FBI and the Obama administration for their handling of the matter than there is for Petraeus himself.
