50% of Americans can only take the opposite stance if they know what stance they are taking. The reporting on the poll doesn&#x27;t reveal any screening questions to determine whether the respondents understand the issues at stake.  If they don&#x27;t understand the issue, then the 50% is answering a question about something else.<p>If they asked the question &quot;Should Apple make it easier for terrorists and foreign hackers to access information on American phones&quot;, I suspect less than 50% would say yes.
