A new HuffPost/YouGov poll finds that Americans still have a largely positive opinion of the Secret Service, even after a recent string of embarrassing incidents for the agency that included a man scaling the White House fence and making it deep inside the mansion before being apprehended.

Most Americans are aware of the recent security breach at the White House, with 52 percent saying they have heard a lot about the incident and 35 percent saying they have heard a little about it. Only 13 percent of Americans said they have not heard anything about the fence-jumping incident.

Despite widespread knowledge of the Secret Service's security lapse, though, opinions of the organization are still positive overall. Forty-two percent of Americans said they have a favorable opinion of the U.S. Secret Service, compared to 37 percent who expressed an unfavorable opinion.

Views of the agency are divided along partisan lines, with 57 percent of Republicans expressing a positive opinion of the Secret Service, compared to only 42 percent of Democrats.

A majority of Americans -- 64 percent -- also said they trust the Secret Service "a great deal" or "a fair amount" to protect the president. Only 26 percent of respondents said they have not much trust or no trust at all in the Secret Service.
