Most Americans doubt NSA surveillance of spying, but still supportive

A recent poll has revealed that while most Americans are suspicious about the undisclosed National Security Agency's (NSA) surveillance program, 50 percent still approve of it.

The Politico reports that a poll conducted by PEW Research Center has found out that most Americans are suspicious about not being told the truth about the NSA's surveillance program.

According to the report, one in seven Americans (70 percent) surveyed claimed the government uses this data for purposes other than investigating terrorism.

More than one in ten, 13 percent, thought the government had a political agenda.

About 63 percent of those surveyed said the government was collecting information about content of communications.

Of that group, 27 percent were doubtful that the government had listened to their calls or read their emails, while 28 percent did not.
