Voters See ‘Antifa’ Protesters Chiefly as Troublemakers
Rasmussen Reports ^ | September 18, 2017 | Staff

Posted on 09/18/2017 11:11:19 AM PDT by Twotone

Voters are following the actions of the so-called “antifa” protesters and aren’t impressed with what they see.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that just 24% of Likely U.S. Voters have a favorable opinion of the antifa protesters, with eight percent (8%) who view them Very Favorably. Fifty-eight percent (58%) share an unfavorable opinion of these protesters, including 40% who have a Very Unfavorable one. Eighteen percent (18%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

Fifty percent (50%) see the antifa protesters as primarily troublemakers looking to cause a public disturbance. Thirty percent (30%) disagree and view them instead as primarily a valid protest movement representing the concerns of many Americans. Twenty percent (20%) are not sure.

Seventy-one percent (71%) of voters say they have followed news reports about the antifa protesters around the country at least somewhat closely, with 37% who have been following Very Closely. Twenty-five percent (25%) have not been following news about these protesters closely, but that includes only six percent (6%) who aren’t following at all.

24% is shockingly high. Maybe a lot of them aren’t paying attention.

not to worry.
once SOrozNazi realizes that the voters have caught onto
AntiFa, he will just create another name for his
violent street hooligans

and the disruption, violence, intimidation, threats, and damage will all continue
uninterrupted

just new signs and banners is all

24% are the hardcore liberals who would support the most extreme socialist policies.

I’m just now seeing more in-depth analysis of what Antifa is all about, including their communist sympathies. I’m not surprised that not many realize what they are. The media tries very hard NOT to educate the average citizen.

I bet you would also find that 8% favor Charlie Manson getting out of prison too.

We have that many whack-jobs in this nation.

Only 51% saw Occupy as a public nuisance.

They weren’t paying attention.

If this poll is accurate, it is another sign of this country’s division. That 24% view Antifa favorably is disturbing, but not surprising. The United States is almost as divided between Blue and Red today as it was between Blue and Grey in the late 1850s.

Yes and he rebranded occupy. And he rebranded ferguson. And it appears he’s rebranding black lives matter but I’m not sure he’s doing that everywhere yet

“antifa” protesters???? they are NOT protesters..they are violent and destructive RIOTERS.

Radical Communist Marxist Domestic Terrorist 'Bill Ayers', who bombed the Pentagon , is working with Antifa.....we know Soros is involved funding the and of course Obama and Michelle are still in that circle.

When ever this guys smells fascism, he comes running! should've been locked up for life!... Ayers was spotted and photographed participating in Chicago BLM riots as he helped form them....also at Berkley

This is good news. The MSM and media efforts by ANTIFA are failing. Despite harm caused by Rubio and Romney, voters are not aligning with their positive views on ANTIFA.

Which leaves only the liberal establishment and Democrats are a possible life line to ANTIFA. Will Democrats lend their support? One almost hopes they tie their ship with ANTIFA.
