just a thought (3.00 / 2)

I would replace "domestic spying" with "spying on US citizens"

I will second that. The issue is not domestic spying against terrorists but against citizens. I dont think anyone objects to the us govt wiretapping known terrorists in hoboken and whatnot.

I'd also say something like "a court ordered warrant required by law" or "without a legal warrant" or "a court ordered warrant" instead of merely a "court order"...warrant makes it more obvious to the general public i'd think.

I disagree, you want to leave the words "legal" or "required by law" out of the question - that's part of what we need to know, whether people think a court order was legally required - many people may buy the President's line on this.  The last one - "court ordered warrant" would be fine (although I personally suspect people would get the idea OK from the question as it's currently phrased).

But the administration claims they are targeting terrorists, not just your average citizens. Similar to what arenwin points out below concerning the legality issues, the poll should be trying to figure out how people feel concerning who is being targeted; the questions shouldn't be biased towards one side of this issue.
