UK poll: Conservatives significantly more likely than liberals to hate Snowden's leaks

[Number23]

22. Are you sure your headline matches your info?

It says quite clearly that in the UK, the number of conservatives that consider Snowden's leaks good for society are higher than those who consider it bad for society.

And that matches with what's going on in the U.S. as well. Conservatives seem to be rallying around the guy http://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/the-right-rallies-to-edward-snowden/

and unsurprisingly, he is the the absolutely darling of libertarians https://campaign.ronpaulchannel.com/snowden/petition/

with some saying he will usher in even more 'libertarian millenials' http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/internet/10157586/Edward-Snowden-there-will-be-more-Libertarian-Millennials-like-him.html

A recent Huff Post survey of Americans show that Repub support is slightly higher for Snowden, very slightly.

Both Republicans (40 percent to 27 percent) and Democrats (40 percent to 26 percent) tended to say that Snowden did the wrong thing, while independents were more likely to say he did the right thing (36 percent to 26 percent). Likewise, both Democrats and Republicans were much more likely than independents to say they thought Snowden should be prosecuted.

Independents said, 61 percent to 18 percent, that Americans had a right to know about the programs Snowden revealed, making it the group most likely to say that. But pluralities of Democrats (46 percent to 29 percent) and Republicans (48 percent to 30 percent) said the same. http://cdn.yougov.com/cumulus_uploads/document/c3cn5y4itm/tabs_HP_snowden_20140328.pdf
