2002 Civil Liberties Update

NPR/Kaiser/Kennedy School Poll: 2002 Civil Liberties Update

According to a new poll by NPR, the Kaiser Family Foundation, and Harvard s Kennedy School of Government, the nation is evenly divided on the question of tradeoffs between civil liberties and security. However, a small but statistically significant number of Americans have shifted toward the civil liberties side of the issue since last year, although majorities still support some government actions that could be seen as curtailing such liberties.
