Civil Rights Opinion Shift

firstamendmentcenter.org: news

A 2004 survey by the First Amendment Center and American Journalism Review magazine shows that there has been a definite shift in American's opinions about the First Amendment since September 11th.

"About 65% of respondents indicated overall support for First Amendment freedoms, while 30% said the First Amendment goes too far -- a nine-point swing from last year and a dramatic change from the 2002 survey in which Americans were evenly divided on the question at 49% each."
