A new bipartisan poll conducted under the joint direction of Anderson Robbins Research (D) and Shaw & Company Research (R) found that a huge majority of American voters believe Lois Lerner's missing emails to the White House, DoJ etc. did not vanish by accident.

Even 63% of Democrats agree that the deletions were deliberate.

Only 12% of voters believe the deletions were accidental.

74% say that Congress should continue investigating the IRS for targeting conservative political groups.

Recently-appointed IRS Commissioner John Koskinen appears to be one of a small and diminishing minority of people who still insist there was no wrongdoing in the disappearance of the emails. And even he couches it in weasel words such as "...there was no wrongdoing to my knowledge....".

Fox News Poll: Voters think IRS emails were deliberately destroyed

by Dana Blanton
Published June 24, 2014

The consensus is: it’s no accident. More than three-quarters of voters -- 76 percent -- think the emails missing from the account of Lois Lerner, the ex-IRS official at the center of the scandal over targeting of conservative groups, were deliberately destroyed.

That’s according to a new Fox News poll.

That suspicion is shared across party lines, albeit to varying degrees. An overwhelming 90 percent of Republicans think the emails were intentionally destroyed, as do 74 percent of independents and 63 percent of Democrats.

Overall, just 12 percent of voters believe the emails were destroyed accidentally. Another 12 percent are unsure.

The U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform held part two of its hearing entitled, “IRS Obstruction: Lois Lerner’s Missing Emails,” Tuesday morning.

This latest wrinkle in the IRS targeting of certain groups, including hundreds with “Tea Party” in their name, has increased voter interest in Congress investigating the matter.

Some 74 percent of voters now say lawmakers should investigate the IRS “until someone is held accountable,” up from 67 percent who felt that way in April. That includes 66 percent of Democrats.
