American Public Split on Legitimacy of Wiretapping U.S. Citizens Without Court Warrants - But Strongly Polarized by Political Party

While the public is more or less equally divided, the country is politically polarized on this issue, as on many others. Republicans believe, by a 76 to 12 percent majority that this was a legitimate use of the president's power, while a 68 to 20 percent majority of Democrats think it was not a legitimate use.

High Definition Hyped, But Many Consumers Remain Wary

While 90 percent of all Americans have heard of high definition television, only 47 percent say they know anything substantial about it, and just 15 percent say they are somewhat or very likely to get H-D-T-V. Those levels have remained basically unchanged over the past year. The survey was done by Ipsos Insight, the global market research firm.
