A lot of Americans have hard feelings after last November's presidential election.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 40% of Likely U.S. Voters think the election has negatively affected their personal relationship with a friend or family member. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
That's a jump from the 26% who said just days before the election that the presidential race itself had already hurt their relationship with a friend or family member.
Contrary to the media and most pollsters who felt Democrat Hillary Clinton was a shoo-in for the presidency, Republican Donald Trump was the surprise winner. Fifty-four percent (54%) of voters who Strongly Disapprove of the job President Trump is doing say the election has hurt a personal relationship. Just 35% of those who Strongly Approve of Trump's job performance agree. (snip)
Women and younger voters are more likely than men and those 40 and over to say a personal relationship has suffered because of the election. But older voters agree with women that there is less political tolerance in America today.
Majorities across all political parties think Americans are less tolerant of others' political views, but Republicans (69%) believe so less strongly than Democrats (77%) and voters not affiliated with either major party (87%). Forty-seven percent (47%) of Democrats say the election has hurt a personal relationship, compared to 42% of Republicans and 30% of unaffiliateds.

It’s a good time to clean house. My own sister is no longer a part of my life for many years once she said she was a socialist. DONE. Not going to have that near my family.
Liberalism ls a mental illness. She still doesn’t understand why we say buh bye!
I love her but won’t be around insanity.
I am so sick of liberals I know with their non stop shrieking that I made a bumper sticker that sais “TRUMP - Obama’s True Legacy”. Simply to cause maximum head-explodedness
Got into a screeming raging hissy fit over politics and my best friend ejected me from his pickup truck
It took the death of a mutual close friend to mend the relationship
They never asked the same question when Obama was elected. My personal relationships were hurt them
At my doc;or’s appt today, the PA told me she had so many people stop being her friend because she is a Trump supporter.
I have been challenged to explain what DJT is doing by my democrat friends. We have NEVER discussed politics and I am still surprised by their behavior.
A lot of snowflakes out there.
My mom grew up in Philadelphia many decades ago and still has several friends from that now-putrid leftist sewage pit. One in particular has disowned her pretty much. Funny thing is, they both saw eye to eye growing up with the same values, but mom's friend can't even figure out that my mom hasn't changed a bit, SHE has.
“Im glad theyre hurt. We were hurt too for 8 years so F em.”
Perfectly said.
Now I have a new tagline when I reply to a post about news that never happened, so it doesn't qualify as fake news.
If anyone stops being your friend because you supported Trump.
Say, “Thank you Lord! I received your message loud and clear!”
avoided the topic. But this has changed in January. I will not tolerate supporting, condoning, or promoting calls for assassination, burning down the whitehouse, violence, riots, torture, vulgarity or anarchy any longer. I am actively shutting out anyone who proactively try to shove their crap in my face. Hear my growl.
Liberals are the most McCarthyistic, unfriendly, greedy, fascist, hate-filled, mean-spirited, envious, resentful, vicious, close-minded, violent, murdering, child-abusing, amoral, stupid, censoring, horse-punching, book-burning, ignorant, uneducated, unskilled, childish, prejudiced, racist, women-hating, man-hating, perverted, thieving, destructive, American-hating, Christian-hating, muslim-loving, Jew-hating, Israel-hating, communist, vote-rigging, vulgar, dirty, smelly, election-rejecting, regressive, restrictive, prohibitive, bed-wetting, poo-flinging, cop-killing, and scared little lying thumb-sucking idiots God has ever created.
Those on the left need a few of their BFFs heads removed by the islamo filth they support. Perspective has meaning.
And the other lazy filth we working people pay for need to them to get over here and mow my grass and make me a sammich.
Wish I could credit the FReeper who said liberals in, say, Santa Monica or New York can live their entire lives never running up against a conservative idea, principle, person, thought etc. while conservatives are forced to hear the liberal agenda every waking minute unless we forcefully avoid it.
Well put.
Liberals can dish it out, but they can’t take it.
I bet almost all of that 40% are whiny liberals.
That has been my credo for over 4 decades.

I think Scott Rasmussen has become a community agitator.
Adios Scott!

#1. Don’t slime McCarthy. #2 these are not”liberals”, they’re Marxists.

Something is fishy here.
Since the election I have done 28 building location surveys for people that plan to enlarge their homes.
Of the 28 clients, only one has been anything but enthusiastic about the Presidential election, here in the super leftist SF Bay Area.
