I have no good evidence, only anecdotal. In all my discussions with family and friends none have ever come out in support of industrial espionage, and many have come out against it especially when they think of other countries doing it to us. No they may be hypocrites, but in general they understand spying for national security - i.e. understanding military capabilities, troop formations, political shifts, etc and make arguments for some level of support of those activities and understand that other nations would of course want to do that to us.
