A new Associated Press-GfK poll finds that most Americans are not impressed with Barack Obama's efforts to restore trust in government in the wake of disclosures about secret surveillance programs.
The
poll finds that Americans increasingly are placing personal privacy
ahead of being kept safe from terrorists. More than 60 percent of
respondents say they value privacy over anti-terror protections. That's
up slightly from 58 percent in a similar poll in August.
Obama
has been fighting to regain public trust after a former National
Security Agency analyst last year revealed some of the intelligence
community's secret tactics that swept up phone records of hundreds of
millions in the United States. Soon after Edward Snowden's disclosure in
June, Obama promised to review the system that has changed rapidly as
technology improved.
