Extensive review of recent news articles and reports related to the Epstein files and congressional actions reveals no mention of any such poll or public opinion survey with this result. The sources discuss internal conflicts among officials like Kash Patel, Pam Bondi, Dan Bongino, and fallout from the Epstein files revelations but do not reference any public polling data on subpoenas or testimony demands.timesofindia.indiatimes.comtimesofindia.indiatimes.comEpstein Files Fallout: Kash Patel considers resignation; Pam Bondi vs Dan...apnews.comapnews.comRepublicans vote to hold Garland in contempt of Congress.

Additionally, coverage about Merrick Garland focuses on contempt votes by House Republicans unrelated to Epstein files and no polling data on public opinion about subpoenaing him was found.foxnews.comfoxnews.com10 reasons the DOJ and FBI face backlash over Epstein files flop The only poll-related source found concerns Americans' views on presidents obeying court rulings but does not relate to subpoenas or Epstein files. Given the absence of any credible or authoritative source reporting such a poll or statistic, and considering that such a high percentage (96%) would be widely reported by major news outlets if true, the claim is unsupported by evidence.

It appears to be fabricated or grossly exaggerated. No counterevidence suggests such a poll exists; thus, the claim fails verification standards. The verdict is False due to lack of any credible supporting data or reporting.
