WASHINGTON (CNN) -- About a fifth of Americans think federal agents have listened in on their phone calls, a CNN/USA Today/Gallup Poll released Tuesday suggests.
Twenty-one percent of the 1,000 adults who replied to the survey conducted Thursday through Sunday said it was very likely or somewhat likely their conversations had been wiretapped, while 52 percent said it was not at all likely.(snip)
According to the poll, Americans appear to be split over the legality of the domestic eavesdropping program. About 49 percent of respondents said the president had definitely or probably broken the law by authorizing the wiretaps and 47 percent said he probably or definitely had not. (snip)

I'll know someone's listening in on my phone conversations when I hear them start snoring.

Could it be Americans who consumed a fifth today believe their phones are tapped?

20%?
That would be most of the far left moonbats who ALWAYS thought that their calls were monitored and a handful of wacko libertarians.

I just watched a movie today, "Forgotten", and at one point they have the NSA agent tied to a chair to question him.....he finally whispers "they are listening" and gets zapped..........

About 49 percent of respondents said the president had definitely or probably broken the law by authorizing the wiretaps and 47 percent said he probably or definitely had not. ...Though only 5% had any idea what the actual allegations were.

Maybe 20% of Americans have a good reason to be concerned.
