Survey: Many Americans Doubt Government Open Data Efforts | Re/code

Abstract: "Just 5 percent of Americans say that federal or state governments are very effectively sharing the data they’ve collected, according to a new survey released Tuesday by the Pew Research Center.

The research shows that a little more than half of Americans (more Democrats than Republicans) think that access to government data could help journalists and others keep elected officials and bureaucrats more accountable, but they have doubts that government officials are any good at actually sharing that information."

This article is a review and summary of the Pew Internet Center survey on Governent Open Data, recently released.
