An Attitude Snapshot

Anyone who has listened to National Public Radio knows it is liberal-to-the-bone. Which makes it mildly humorous that they paid for a poll done by Marist which found results I can promise you they don't much like.

Writing at The American Conservative website, Rod Dreher analyzes the poll results which belie much of the MSM shock at events in Charlottesville. Some choice bits:

Trump’s overall disapproval rate is 51 percent, but he’s still holding strong among Republicans. His disapproval rate has not substantially changed all year. Charlottesville didn’t affect it.

Comfortable majorities — no less than 60 percent — in each age cohort support the statues

The only group with a majority favoring removal (57 percent) are “Strong Democrats” — as opposed to “Soft Democrats,” who slightly favor keeping them (52 percent)

Americans overwhelmingly disapprove (over 90 percent across the board) of white supremacists, white nationalists, the KKK, and the alt-right

On Antifa, five times as many people oppose it (24 percent) as back it (five percent), but the overwhelming majority of Americans (71 percent) are either unsure or have no opinion.

Charlottesville was the first time most Americans will have been introduced to both Antifa and the Alt-Right.

Don't be surprised if POTUS keeps on being himself. His peeps are still with him and he knows it.
