That's what Americans think in this new study. Maybe the candidates can start discussing this issue so we can really understand who supports privacy and what privacy means to each of them.
Asked to select both the Democratic and Republican candidate they believe is most likely to "advance your privacy rights," respondents preferred Obama over Hillary Clinton and John Edwards by nearly a 2-to-1 ratio, with 43 percent naming Obama compared to 25 percent for Edwards and 23 percent for Clinton.
The poll had a margin of error of plus or minus 4.5 percent.
On the Republican side, John McCain was the top choice, named by 39 percent of respondents, but Mitt Romney's 35 percent was within the poll's margin of error. Rudy Giuliani was picked by 15 percent of those polled, with Ron Paul and Fred Thompson each named by less than 5 percent.
