I'm going through the results (it's a lengthy document) and the first thing I find rather amazing, is that the approval rating for Trump among Jill Stein voters is second only to his own voters. They are at 54%.
Full disclosure: PPP is a Democratic polling firm. They do have a favorable reputation on accuracy, most polling firms do, even if they do sway one way or the other (Rasmussen is a good example on the right). But, this can color results and so must be viewed through that lens.
One interesting thing I find with most polls is that while say 39% support keeping Confederate statues it doesn't tell us why.
Although other results can give us a hint:
Quote:Trump voters say they would rather have Jefferson Davis as President than Barack Obama 45/20.
I'd probably fall under "I don't care" if asked by a pollster about the statues...but it's more nuanced than that obviously.
Your anger and ego will always reveal your true self.
