  The discomfort over Yahoo’s surveillance program unified respondents of varying party identifiers and ages.  Half of Republican respondents said the program was bad because it violated users’ privacy, as did 48 percent of Democrats and 52 percent of independents.
Only 28 percent of both Democrats and Republicans viewed the program positively because of the extra information it could give crime and terrorist fighting intelligence officials. A mere 20 percent of independents agreed with that sentiment.  https://morningconsult.com/2016/10/12/poll-americans-uneasy-yahoo-surveillance-program/
