UPDATE: Early 'Wash Post' Poll on NSA Phone Spying Refuted

By E&P Staff Published: May 13, 2006 1:15 PM ET
They may be owned by the same company, but two polls commissioned by The Washington Post and Newsweek magazine on the important issue of public approval of the National Security Agency's gathering of phone records produced quite different results. Now a USA Today/Gallup poll suggests that the original Washington Post poll was highly misleading. On Friday, a widely-publicized Washington Post/ABC survey revealed that 63% of Americans said they found the NSA program to be an acceptable way to investigate terrorism, including 44% who strongly endorsed the effort. Only 35% said the program was unacceptable. This apparently inspired Time magazine to produce an article that suggested that President Bush might actually benefit from the revelations.Then a Newsweek poll released Saturday found that 53% of Americans believe that reports that the NSA has been secretly collecting the phone records of U.S. citizens goes too far in invading people's privacy. Some 41% feel it is a necessary tool to combat terrorism. On Sunday, the USA Today/Gallup survey came up with almost the same results. By 51%-43%, those polled disapprove of the program........

i read your comment "this is america" and laughed because it is exactly how i feel.
but then the enormous effects of it hit and i cried.
where is "our america"?
can we ever find it again?
i ordered satellite and as soon as it is operational i will fire bellsouth.i still need to ask the satellite company one question.are they cooperating with NSA
i plan on adding a signature clause to my contracty with them about it.
i can legally add anything when i sign that protects my rights that they promised something so they better be careful how they answer.
signed contracts are powerful tools.

i have at&t (through NO fault of my own. they bought out sbc and that is who i had to begin with)

i want to drop them and i'm going to check into who else is available in this area.

i'm NOT a terrorist. no one i call is a terrorist. i don't know any terrorists. if i did, not only wouldn't i call them, i'd report them for being terrorists.

I think it took the public a couple of days to realize that this wasn't the story they heard about only tapping calls to the boogey man and that now it was about tapping all calls by all people to everywhere. Still the fact that anyone is Okay with this is frightening because those people have been brain-washed by this administration.

p o p - i don't get it when people say 'i have nothing to hide'. THAT is NOT the point. the point is; IT'S AGAINST THE LAW and our administration MUST be held accountable or WE will pay far worse consequences and it will be far too late to correct

mr shake- agreed (as evidenced by my comment to p o p, lol!!!!)

mr in the midst-thankfully, i'm not flooded and just a very few areas of connecticut are. it's STILL raining though..................
