Pew Research just release afresh studythat bear witness a majority of Americans are completely fine with have every part of their banal life fed into the data - excavation maw of the U.S. Government Technology Complex . If 56 % of voter elected a United States President , we ’d call it a landslide .
But only 27 % of Americans are give close attention to the NSA surveillance outrage . So a mint of people who okay what ’s happen also have no melodic theme what ’s befall . This is loosely true of everything , but the level of date with the Prism Outrage is peculiarly blue . Once the “ report gets out ” that Edward Snowden bet at a pictorial matter of a nude girl once or “ has too many LEGO sets ” or whatever , people may become more interested in the report .
As with most news stories , interest is far high-pitched among older Americans than the untried : one - in - three ( 33 % ) Americans ages 50 - and - old are be intelligence about the government give chase phone records very close . Among those ages 18 - 29 , just 12 % are following very closely , while 56 % say they are not follow tight at all .
care to these stories is higher among Republicans and Republican - tip fencesitter : 32 % are comply reports about the governance tracking phone record very nearly , compare with 24 % of Democrats and Democratic - leaning independents . The partizan gap in interest is almost superposable when it comes to reports about regime collecting email and other online info : 30 % of Republicans and Republican - leaner are follow very tight compared with 20 % of Democrats and Democratic - leaners .
So , once again , vernal people are on purpose dumb . And the people who bear out the current government activity — Democrats , for now — are not concerned in the dirt because Obama is the embodiment of Bob Hope and change . Look at how he “ changed ” George W. Bush ’s wholesale illegal spying on Americans to make it even worse ! And look how we all “ hope ” there ’s some way out of this technical school - golem - destruction helix .
