I'm Not Worried

I'm late with this poll, but this is exactly why the public doesn't get all weak-kneed thinking about illegal wiretaps. They know it isn't happening to them.

CNN/USA Today/Gallup Poll. Feb. 9-12, 2006. Nationwide.

"Just your best guess -- How likely is it that the federal government has ever wiretapped any of your telephone conversations: very likely, somewhat likely, not too likely, or not at all likely?" N=1,000, MoE ± 3

Very Likely.................8%
Somewhat Likely.....13%
Not Too Likely.........24%
Not At All Likely......52%
Unsure.......................3%

So 92% don't believe it very likely they've been spied on. Even the other 8% may not be concerned about it.
