One-third of Americans have no opinion on Comey's firing

The headlines I saw said that only 29 percent of Americans approve of President Trump’s decision to fire James Comey. That includes the headline written by NBC News about its own poll, which produced that result.

That sounds quite terrible, implying supermajority opposition. But what would you think if the same poll said that only 38 percent disapprove, with the remainder (32 percent) not sure what to think at this point? That doesn’t sound nearly as terrible, does it? The ambivalence is not really split along partisan lines, either, with a third of Republicans, a quarter of Democrats, and not quite half of independents unsure what to think about the whole mess.
