Poll: Nearly four in 10 say sequester hurt them personally

By Justin Sink

Some 37 percent of Americans report being personally impacted by the sequester, and half that group say the harm has been "major," according to a new poll released Friday by ABC News and The Washington Post.

That's up substantially from the 25 percent of Americans who reported feeling the impact of the $80 billion across-the-board cuts implemented after Congress failed to strike a budget deal.

Americans also disapprove of the sequester at a higher rate, with 56 percent of Americans saying they disapprove of the move and only 35 percent backing the cuts. Of those who say the sequester has caused them serious harm, eight in 10 oppose the sequester; two-thirds of those reporting slight harm echo that feeling.

Broadwell: 'I have remorse' after the Petraeus scandal

By Justin Sink

Paula Broadwell, the biographer of former CIA director David Petraeus, said Thursday she was sorry about how her affair with the former general had affected their families.

"I have remorse for the harm that this has caused, the sadness it has caused my family and other families," Broadwell told ABC News's Charlotte affiliate

The former U.S. Army Reserve intelligence officer said she tries not to focus on the past. An FBI investigation spurred by threatening emails Broadwell allegedly sent Tampa socialite Jill Kelly revealed the affair, leading Petraeus to resign his post.
