Polls conducted in the days since Glenn Greenwald and The Guardian pulled back the curtain on the NSA's surveillance program have found that a majority of Americans are fine with said program so long as it targets suspected terrorists, but are less fine with being targeted themselves; and that they're skeptical of the claim that leaking information about the NSA's spying program will jeopardize the government's ability to keep America safe.

But how do they feel about the act of leaking? "Fifty-four percent of respondents said the leaker, Edward Snowden, 29, did a 'good thing' in releasing information about the government programs," Zeke Miller writes of a new poll from TIME. "Just 30 percent disagreed."

That means more American approve of Snowden than approve of Congress. Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Cali.) should keep that in mind as she calls for Snowden to be prosecuted.

To be fair, its not that hard to get an approval rating that is better than congress'

Satan has a higher approval rating than congress.

Other than 3 humorous listings, I have not found a serious statistic for Satan's approval rating in either a general web search or the scientific literature. But I think you might be right!

In fact, a Gallup poll I posted here yesterday said Congress has only a 10% approval rate, which basically means Congress, its mothers, and those who count on providing direct services to them, to live, as I see it. Congress tried to spin it as Americans being angry at gridlock, not the terrible things they DO pass.

LOL! Reason article links to Nancy Pelosi's propaganda presser yesterday.
Nancy Pelosi Says NSA Leaker Edward Snowden Should Be Prosecuted


Swonden has a 5 1/2 times better approval rating than Congress! ...AND that's with Fascist Media marginalizing and damaging Swonden's character at every turn.


Let's see, who has committed felony insider trading... NANCY PELOSI or EDUARD SNOWDEN?

Who demanded Crystal champagne and chocolate cover strawberries on taxpayer funded personal flights across country for 10 people on a 757 every week? NANCY PELOSI or EDUARD SNOWDEN?

A randomly picked multiple choice test with five choices will statisticly end up with a score double that of congresses approval rating.

@Hollywood: Insider Trading? almost EVERY member of Congress is guilty.
