According to a Rasmussen poll out this morning, 78% of those following the Roman Polanski story closely think he should go to prison. Only 8% disagree.

That helps put a bit of an exclamation point on how flyover country feels about Polanski's raping of a 13 year old girl thirty odd years ago versus the view taken by the Hollywood crowd (Harvey Weinstein, Woody Allen, et al) that petitioned for his immediate release.
