Rasmussen: 59% Oppose Government’s Secret Collecting of Phone Records

Rasmussen Reports ^ | 06/10/2013

[SeekAndFind]

Most voters oppose the U.S. government’s secret collection of the phone records of millions of Americans and think the feds are spying too much on U.S. citizens these days. Just 26% of Likely U.S. Voters favor the government’s secret collecting of these phone records for national security purposes regardless of whether there is any suspicion of wrongdoing. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 59% are opposed to the practice. Fifteen percent (15%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

There is always a bottom part of any bell-curve

Not Conservative women!

Just 26% of Likely U.S. Voters favor the government’s secret collecting of these phone records

These are the same 26% who opposed it when Bush did it! These are the hardcore liberals who don't have brains to think - just react to talking points.

oh i know the type alright, they are the ones who would sell you out in a minute to make sure they are ok, except in the end they become the most expendable to any dictator because they in the end are hated for being unprincipled and untrustworthy, and they never understand this until a bullet is put in them by the person they are spilling their guts to. You know the ones who fall to fear easily and in a hostage situation would point out to hijackers or terrorists the person they wanted in a second. They are the worst sort of person, no backbone and no principles, they are the collaborators and we’ve seen them many times before in wars.

47% don’t give a rip about anything, except a 1/2 black Kenyan.

Concur. I married one.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Game...Set....Match

Obama has fubared the ONE issue which could turn 30-and-under Low Info Voters against him. These people live online and believe it should all be 110% Secure and Confidential.

And Free.

Women in general seem to be easily bamboozeled. Throw some emotion their way and they bite on almost anything, hook, line, and sinker.

You know that from personal experience?

[Obadiah]

Yes. See the election of 2008 and 2012. I rest my case.

[PlanToDisappear]

So, 41% of America are brownshirts.

[broken_arrow1]

Other 41% voted Obama-Biden

[gek1227]

Disappointing to learn that my U.S. Senators, including Pat Toomey, support the Obama administration’s actions.

Most excellent comment, sunmars. My neighborhood crank is certainly on this path. One of my friends here is a therapist who diagnoses people for a living. Our "crank" is certifiable for sure.

[Veto!]
