A new poll commissioned by Vera Action and conducted by YouGov suggests that a plurality of registered voters view President Donald Trump’s recent National Guard deployments as politically motivated rather than grounded in public safety concerns, and that a majority of voters believe Trump’s federal actions on crime are unrelated to community safety.
A new survey from the Public Religion Research Institute shows that a majority of Americans believe that Donald Trump poses a serious threat to democracy, with 56% of Americans choosing to describe him as a “potentially dangerous dictator whose power should be limited before he destroys democracy” rather than a “strong leader who should be given the power he needs to restore America’s greatness”.
Trump’s approval rating is down, but public opinion may not matter as much as it once did, due to voter suppression, gerrymandering, and the decay of institutional checks on executive power.
