11. I don't know that it's sad. People made up their minds about this guy some time ago. It hasn't....

changed. And no matter how many awards he scoops up in Europe, it hasn't helped him here at home. This poll is from January, and they have continued to decline from the height of the scandal. Outside of privacy advocates, this hasn't hit home as a "kitchen table" issue. You call it apathy, I call it priorities.

Poll: Most think Edward Snowden should stand trial in U.S.

Most Americans – 61 percent - think Snowden should have to stand trial in the United States for his actions. Far fewer – 23 percent - think he should be granted amnesty. Republicans, Democrats, and independents all agree on this as well.

Meanwhile, 31 percent approve of Snowden’s actions, while most, 54 percent, disapprove. Majorities of Republicans, Democrats, and independents disapprove.

Americans are divided as to the impact on the country from making the NSA program public. While 40 percent think the disclosure has been good for the country, 46 percent think it has been bad.

When asked to come up with a word that describes Edward Snowden, nearly a quarter volunteer either traitor or a similar word that questions his loyalty to his country, while 8 percent say he is “brave” or “courageous” or “a hero”. Just 2 percent volunteered that he is a patriot or patriotic, and another 2 percent say “terrorist”.

While many approved of his releasing information about domestic spying, they drew a line with regard to disclosures of our global surveillance practices, as did I.
