>Only 15% of American believe that Snowden is a hero, 30% call him a traitor outright and only 25% of them believe that he should be offered any type of deal/pardon.

According to that poll. I think it's a reasonable possibility that one of those buckets is shortchanged by the way polls are conducted.

Honestly, I was surprised that 25% of the US public/registered voters are willing to pardon Snowden, I would've thought that that percentage would be far lower.

You need to realise that even in the Huff's online polls e.g. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/07/05/edward-snowden-poll... Snowden was viewed unfavourably, and if online and the Huff is not pandering to a favourable demographic even tho on paper the poll might match the US demographics then I don't know what is.
