Newsweek: Most Americans Don't Support NSA Program?

From Newsweek's press release:
--FIFTY-THREE PERCENT OF AMERICANS FEEL COLLECTING
A DATABASE OF U.S.-BASED CALLS GOES TOO FAR IN INVADING PRIVACY
-- 57 PERCENT SAY ADMINISTRATION HAS GONE TOO FAR IN EXPANDING PRESIDENTIAL POWER; 50 PERCENT SAY HISTORY
-- WILL VIEW BUSH AS A BELOW AVERAGE PRESIDENT
BTW: Bush's approval rating is 35 percent.
Keep in mind -- the instantaneous ABC News/Post poll showed a different locus of public opinion. Was it conducted before most Americans either learned about the NSA program or had time to digest its implications? Or are we dealing with another case of "it depends how you word the question?"
