Joobo Demands It, the Pollsters Provide It...At Least One Does
We at Joobo asked why national polls on the NSA surveillance story were not being done, or were being ignored. It took a short time before our question was answered: the polls did show that a major majority of Americans agree with the surveillance, and, in a stunning move, 51% of Downies agree with it.
As we like to say: Yikes.
National Security Agency
So, we stand by our belief that Downie politicians are once again siding against the American people and with the terrorists when they oppose the surveillance. The American people want President Bush to do whatever he has to do - civil liberties be damned - to protect this country. Downie opposition - and even calls for his impeachment - once more shows that they should not be allowed anywhere near control of this country for the forseeable future.

National Security Agency
December 28, 2005--Sixty-four percent (64%) of Americans believe the National Security Agency (NSA) should be allowed to intercept telephone conversations between terrorism suspects in other countries and people living in the United States. A Rasmussen Reports survey found that just 23% disagree.
Sixty-eight percent (68%) of Americans say they are following the NSA story somewhat or very closely.
Just 26% believe President Bush is the first to authorize a program like the one currently in the news. Forty-eight percent (48%) say he is not while 26% are not sure.
Eighty-one percent (81%) of Republicans believe the NSA should be allowed to listen in on conversations between terror suspects and people living in the United States. That view is shared by 51% of Democrats and 57% of those not affiliated with either major political party.
So, we stand by our belief that Downie politicians are once again siding against the American people and with the terrorists when they oppose the surveillance.
