Quinnipiac reports that 55% of respondents chose “Whistle-Blower” to describe Edward Snowden, while 35% considered him a “Traitor” and the rest were “Undecided.”
“Whistle-Blower” and “Traitor” were the only choices offered.
Here is a poll with more choices:

re: #2 chadu
FWIW, I really wanted to include #2 in option #7.
I left 1 and 2 as they were on the original Quinnipiac poll, and then #7 as “all the other dumb shit but not outright traitor” in case it might be hard to choose a single one from 3-6.

I think he’s too much of a dumbass to be afforded such a grandiose label as “traitor.”

Ehn, I can see that point, but I tend to think his dumbassery lea him into being more of a traitor than whistleblower. YMMV.

Thank you for this.
The either or option of that reported on poll was weak.
At this point I don’t think he is either of those 1st two choices but it is not a good sign when 34% of the random public think that you are a traitor to your country. I can’t see how that piss poor result is being touted as a triumph for Snowden’s public opinion.

re: #7 b.d.
I voted traitor. Conspired, violated his oaths, stole the information, put it out there and his within a nation that is a strategic competitor.
Treason, espionage etc. Not calling for his execution, calling for a trial and judicial sentencing.
What is wrong with this conclusion?

Technically 2 if you go strictly by what he did at the NSA/Booz, but when you add in the rest of what he’s done since then, its mostly 3-6.
