This statistic shows the results of a survey, conducted across the United States in April 2014, on whether waterboarding - which is defined as "inducing a sense of drowning by pouring water on someone with a bag over their face" - can be considered a form of torture. The results were then sorted by age group. 81 percent of respondents aged 18 to 29 years said they considered waterboarding a form of torture.
