NBC poll on Snowden totally flipped since yesterday. [View all]

NBC asked yesterday if Snowden was a patriot or a traitor, and the numbers favored traitor.

Today, 60 percent say patriot, 40 percent say traitor.

So, it appears that most viewers did find him to be sincere and authentic and appreciated his risk-taking and his motives.

Score one for civil liberties!

Being on the right side of history is evident.
