ZeroHedge.com looks at the most recent data from the Pew Research Center and concludes:
In what is likely the most disappointing, if not unexpected, news of the day, we find that according to a just released Pew Research study, a substantial majority, or 56% of Americans, "say the National Security Agency’s (NSA) program tracking the telephone records of millions of Americans is an acceptable way for the government to investigate terrorism." Only 41% object to having every phone conversation intercepted, investigated, analyzed, and recorded for posterity. Sorry Edward Snowden: you just threw your life away for nothing. The sheep have been properly and thoroughly conditioned and brainwashed, which is why they continue to get precisely the government they so rightfully deserve.

[T]he biggest danger to America it appears is not a turnkey totalitarian tyrant, but broad apathy as it turns out only one in four follow NSA News "very closely." The other 3 in 4 are far more concerned with who gets to fake-wed the fake-bachelorette this season, or who is the victor of Dancing with the Stars.

Those who wish to be even more depressed can read on here.
As for Edward Snowden, hopefully this will teach you to throw away your life to liberate a bloated and apathetic society that couldn't care less if the slaughter-gate was slammed shut behind it, and just wants to have its rose-colored blinders on in perpetuity.

the poll was conducted with 1004 participants, not all 314 million americans.I bet you could find 1000 people who think Bush is still president.
I'm surprised you fell for the spew that the Pew Research Center releases. They are paid propagandists.
You are right. I will just say that this report dovetailed with my state of mind yesterday. CBS of all people, has a survey out today sort of saying that 58 percent disapprove. We seldom know how these survey questions are worded and even less often know how the sample is picked.
