Public Opinion Shifts on Security-Liberty BalanceBy NATE
SILVER<http://fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes.com/author/nate-silver/>

A new Quinnipiac poll has found a significant shift in public
opinion<http://www.quinnipiac.edu/institutes-and-centers/polling-institute/national/release-detail?ReleaseID=1919>
on
the trade-off between civil liberties and national security. In the new
survey, released on Wednesday, 45 percent of the public said they thought
the government’s antiterrorism policies have “gone too far in restricting
the average person’s civil liberties” — as compared with 40 percent who
said they have “not gone far enough to adequately protect the country.”
