Americans oppose President Obama's decision to close the Guantánamo detention center by more than 2-to-1 and reject by more than 3-to-1 the idea that suspected terrorists housed there be moved to prisons in their own states, according to a USA Today/Gallup poll conducted May 29-31.

By 40 percent to 18 percent, those polled said the use of Guantánamo had made the U.S. safer.
