Attitudes Shift Against Snowden; Fewer than Half Say NSA is Unjustified

[mrdmk]

117. Here is the question that is being hyped

12. What do you think is more important right now - (for the federal government to investigate possible terrorist threats, even if that intrudes on personal privacy); or (for the federal government not to intrude on personal privacy, even if that limits its ability to investigate possible terrorist threats)?

Let's deconstruct the question

What do you think is more important right now: How important is this to you?

for the federal government to investigate possible terrorist threats, even if that intrudes on personal privacy: To have an investigation of a possible threat, meaning a possible problem and the people involved are going to be investigated!

or the federal government not to intrude on personal privacy, even if that limits its ability to investigate possible terrorist threats: To have an half-assed investigation!

My IMHO, most people will agree to this question or should agree to it. Oh by the way here are the numbers:

Investigate 57% Don't intrude threats on privacy 39% No opinion 4%


In the end, this poll is a No-Shit-Sherlock, and there is no change
