“Americans claim they don’t want those condemned to death to suffer needlessly, but recent news of painfully botched lethal injections has not shaken their support for the death penalty, a new HuffPost/YouGov poll shows.

Sixty-five percent of Americans — including 82 percent of Republicans, 66 percent of independents and 53 percent of Democrats — said they support the death penalty for people convicted of murder.”
