A majority of voters say holding a discussion of plans to attack the Houthis in Yemen on the messaging app Signal was wrong.

The Harvard CAPS/ Harris poll found that 60 percent believe using Signal for the discussion was wrong, including 73 percent of Democrats , 65 percent of independents and 43 percent of Republicans .

The results come after The Atlantic published messages from the chat that the outlet’s editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg was added to earlier this month in which several members of the national security team discussed details of the strike.
