Today, only about half of Republicans (52% ) say it is acceptable for the NSA to obtain court orders to track phone call records of millions of Americans to investigate terrorism. In January 2006, fully 75% of Republicans said it was acceptable for the NSA to investigate suspected terrorists by listing in on phone calls and reading emails without court approval.

Democrats now view the NSA’s phone surveillance as acceptable by 64% to 34% . In January 2006, by a similar margin (61% to 36% ), Democrats said it was unacceptable for the NSA to scrutinize phone calls and emails of suspected terrorists.
