All around the May polls

I really do try to stay away from polls but since the WaPo made an issue of their skewed poll yesterday, I'd note that today's Newsweek poll more accurately reflects the public sentiment I've observed and echoes a similar DetNews poll.
According to the latest NEWSWEEK poll, 53 percent of Americans think the NSA’s surveillance program “goes too far in invading people’s privacy,” while 41 percent see it as a necessary tool to combat terrorism.
That feels about right but it still astonishes me that almost half of America doesn't feel the magnitude of the datasweep is disturbing and doesn't see the inherent danger in the administration's circumventing the law -- again. What do you want to bet that 41% are mainly FoxNews viewers?
