“A July Washington Post-ABC News poll — before the latest disclosures reported by The Post — found fully 70 percent of Democrats and 77 percent of Republicans said the NSA’s phone and Internet surveillance program intrudes on some Americans’ privacy rights. What’s more, Democrats and Republicans who did see intrusions were about equally likely to say they were ‘not justified:’ 51 and 52 percent respectively. Nearly six in 10 political independents who saw intrusions said they are unjustified. There was less partisan agreement in 2006, when news about the George W. Bush administration’s warrantless wiretapping program broke.”
