A solid majority, 52%, also disagree with Dianne Feinstein and others that the torture report should have been released.

Further, and perhaps the most disturbing part, of the 54% who thought the CIA intentionally misled the White House, Congress, and the public about its activities, about 39% thought it was justified in doing so. A solid majority (53%) thought torture produced important information, despite the findings of the Senate report that it did not. Pretty devastating poll for opponents of torture, IMO.
