MODERATORS
Love how you can predict these polls without even looking at the percentages.
Q: Is Donald Trump eating a baby live on CSPAN the fault of the Republicans or the Democrats?
A:
39% Democrats
41% Republicans
12% Both sides are to blame.
8% I don't know.
You forgot the 3% that will ask “Who’s that?”
doesn't understand my fellow countryman anymore.
I think they're heavily propagandized, but basically decent if you can actually get them to see reality. Take this set of findings from the full poll link as an example
More Americans say they have no confidence at all in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) than say they have a great deal of confidence (38% vs. 26%)
Two-thirds (67%) of Americans think that while making arrests, ICE officers should be required to wear uniforms; 18% say they shouldn't be required to
About half (52%) of Americans say ICE officers should not be allowed to wear masks that hide their identities while making arrests and 35% say they should
Views on anti-ICE protests are split: 40% believe they have mostly been peaceful and 39% believe they have mostly been violent
Like, those first three bullet points tell me large majorities want the right things, but that last one shows that lots of them are living in worlds of disinformation
e; Also, I can find a ton of headlines talking about how the percentage that blame Dems for the shutdown and that blame the GOP moved up and down a few points respectively, but I haven't seen any headlines focusing specifically on 2/3 of Americans saying ICE officers should be required to wear uniforms
Decent? They’re literally Nazis
Lmfao, there is no trouble for Trump. He’s old, he’s never leaving office, and zero people are doing anything to stop him.
This ludicrous reality would be slightly more tolerable if people would stop acting like this is business as usual
so 33% don't want healthcare or at least other people to have it?
My guess is 33% don't know that healthcare is the sticking item, and that the Democrats are trying to save the ACA subsidies. You wouldn't know that's the case if you watched conservative media.
Doesn't matter. The tick has thoroughly burrowed itself under the skin.
So according to theor numbers more people blame the democrats for the shutdown?
If 33 was bigger than 39 the answer would be "yes," but it's not so - no
Combine blame both equally with the democrats and you get over 50% blaming the democrats
-
That doesn't make any sense, either they blame both equally or they blame Dems more, there's no room for overlap between those two positions with how the questions and possible answers were phrased
-
Even if that did make sense (which it does not), combine blame both equally with blame Republicans and you'd get even further over 50%, because 39 is a bigger number than 33
Let's assume your horrific understanding of basic logic was correct: combine the numbers that blame both equally with those that blame the Republicans.
Is that number more or less than the number you are saying blame the Democrats?
I'll help you out. The number is 59 vs 53. Guess which number is larger.
