Yet Another Poll. Yet Another Result

USA Today has it's poll on the NSA program it published the leaks about. The trumpeting headline is that 51% of Americans disapprove of the program. Buried in the poll data is an interesting tidbit or two.

7. If you knew that the federal government had your telephone records, how concerned would you be — very concerned, somewhat concerned, not too concerned, or not concerned at all?

Very concerned     22

Somewhat concerned     13

Not too concerned     20

Not concerned at all     44

No opinion     1

11. Do you think the news media should — or should not — report information it obtains about the secret methods the government is using to fight terrorism?

Yes, should     47

No, should not     49

No opinion     3

Which leads us to believe there is a major problem with the polling in this case. Supposedly 51% disapprove, but  64% aren't real concerned about the government having phone records. A slim majority disapprove of leaking - or the publishing of leaks, as the case may be.

But this does give us an opportunity to present an artist's conception of what USA Today's logo could become.

Just a thought.
