Public support for the First Amendment has rebounded to pre-9/11 levels, according to this year's results of an annual poll by the First Amendment Center. Two findings from the survey, released in conjunction with the nation's Fourth-of-July celebrations, are noteworthy for advocates of open government. The poll shows nearly two-thirds of Americans disagree with the statement that the First amendment goes too far in protecting freedoms. Last year Americans were evenly split on the statement. Second, a growing number of Americans say they want more and better information about the United State's efforts to combat terrorism: 50 percent in 2004, up from 40 percent a year earlier. The survey is available from the First Amendment Center.
