"The remaining 11 per cent did not have an opinion...." By Henry Austin, NBC News contributor More than half of American voters say self-declared NSA leaker Edward Snowden is a whistle-blower not a traitor, according to a poll published Wednesday. The fugitive, believed to be holed up in the transit zone of Moscow’s Sheremetyevo Airport, was supported by 55 percent of those surveyed by researchers at Quinnipiac University, Connecticut. About one-third (34 percent) of those polled said they believed Snowden had betrayed his country. Of those who backed his decision to leak the contents of classified documents in order to expose the extent of government-sanctioned surveillance, there was equal representation from almost every gender, social group and political persuasion. The remaining 11 percent did not have an opinion.
