Follow up: New Poll Says 57% Fear Government Will Use NSA Data to Harass Political Opponents

Rasmussen is out today with a new poll suggesting that the majority of Americans believe - or excuse us, FEAR - that the government will use NSA data to harass political opponents.

Fear is Rasmussen’s word, not ours. In fairness, the word fear does not appear in the survey question.

But still, MORE THAN HALF of Americans FEAR government targeting as a result of the collection of data.

This is a bad PR metric. Weeks after the IRS targeting scandal was exposed, Americans have made the connection to the NSA story.
