Questions - NSA - Jan 19-20, 2014
National Survey of 1,000 Likely Voters
Conducted January 19-20, 2014
By Rasmussen Reports
1* How closely have you followed news reports about
President Obama’s new policy for the National Security Agency?
2* As part of the effort to fight terrorism, the National Security
Agency has been tracking telephone calls and e-mails made by millions
of Americans. Do you favor or oppose the NSA’s tracking of these phone
calls and e-mails?
3* In response to concerns raised about the NSA program, the
president announced on Friday that he would more tightly restrict the spy
agency’s access to Americans’ phone records. Do you trust the
president, the executive branch, Congress and federal judges to make sure the
program is abiding by the Constitution?
4* As
a result of the president’s new policy, is it less likely or more likely that
the federal government will monitor the private phone calls of ordinary
Americans? Or will that surveillance remain about the
same?
5* Is it possible to satisfy public concern about the NSA surveillance
program and still keep track of the nation’s terrorist enemies?
