As I noted earlier this week, what we don't know about the mosque controversy, which the press loves in part because covering it requires zero actual reporting, is whether anyone outside the Beltway cares at all about this story. And whether voters see it as a political issue for November. (The press sure does.)

The results from a new Gallup poll suggest the answer is that no, not many people care.

The Gallup question:

As you may know, President Obama recently made comments about the construction of this mosque. From what you've heard or read, do you approve or disapprove of what President Obama said -- or don't you know enough to say?

A rather stunning 41 percent of respondents told Gallup they didn't know enough about Obama's comments to form an opinion about the question. And among independent voters, ever more (47 percent) had no opinion.

Meanwhile, according to a new Time poll, 74 percent of Americans say the issue won't have any impact in how they vote in November.

And BTW, according to the most recent Pew Research Center weekly survey, just five percent of news consumers pointed to the mosque debate as the story they were following most closely.
