Most people are concerned that the federal government is spying on them, and many fear that it will get worse under Joe Biden.
The latest Rasmussen Reports survey revealed that a shocking 70% are concerned that Big Brother is spying on them, including 39% who are “very concerned.”
And 40% fear spying will increase under Biden.
In the analysis just posted, Rasmussen said Republican voters have the most concern.
“Most voters don’t trust the government’s judgment when it spies on U.S. citizens, although the number who say they do trust the government has increased slightly since we asked the same question in January 2019. Democrats are more likely than Republicans to trust the government’s judgment on domestic surveillance, and black voters trust the government more than voters who are white or other races,” read the report.
Republicans who support President Trump have reason to be skeptical about government spying, especially those who have followed the FBI’s bid to link the president and his team to Russian election interference.
The survey found that U.S. residents have a deep suspicion of all types of spying, not just from Washington. It said, for example, that voters are also concerned about foreign and industrial spying.
