An NBC/WSJ poll from late July [1] (the most recent poll I found that assessed general favorability of both President Obama and Edward Snowden, lists Snowden with a favorability of 11%, 37% behind Obama's number at that point in time. A Harvard poll of millennials [2] (defined as 18-29) show that 22% consider him a "traitor", 22% consider him a patriot, and the remainder are "not sure". Of course, polls which pose questions about approval of his release of documents may differ substantially, but then again, so do polls about specific actions the President has taken. I don't know where the data for your assertion comes from.
