Millennials, ages 18 to 34, tend to view Snowden as a champion of privacy. They see his actions as basically benign, and lean toward thinking that what he did is unlikely to undermine efforts to stop terrorist groups from striking in the West.

U.S. News reported exclusively that 64 percent of Americans of all ages surveyed hold a negative opinion of Snowden and 36 percent a positive one — of these, 8 percent are very positive.

If the NSA and others would not have abused the trust that was put into them, this would have never happened. Snowden revealed and exposed a blatant abuse of power which cannot be justified.
