Reuters/Ipsos poll finds one in three Americans back a second execution attempt after a failed one
A Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted after Tennessee's failed lethal injection attempt on Christa Pike found 33% of respondents support a second execution attempt if a first fails. The Washington Examiner reports 42% would prefer survivors serve life in prison, and 74% say executions should not be televised. Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee paused executions and the state prison chief resigned after the incident.

The split, in one line
The wires lead with the one-in-three backing a second attempt; the Examiner leads with the 42% who'd rather they serve life and folds in Pike's coma and the Tennessee pause. Same poll, different headline number.
