NEW YORK (Reuters) - A majority of Americans sympathize with nationwide protests over the death of an unarmed black man in police custody and disapprove of President Donald Trump’s response to the unrest, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Tuesday.
The survey conducted on Monday and Tuesday found 64% of American adults were “sympathetic to people who are out protesting right now,” while 27% said they were not and 9% were unsure.

More than 55% of Americans said they disapproved of Trump’s handling of the protests, including 40% who “strongly” disapproved, while just one-third said they approved - lower than his overall job approval of 39%, the poll showed.
A separate Reuters/Ipsos poll found that Biden’s lead over Trump among registered voters expanded to 10 percentage points - the biggest margin since the former vice president became his party’s presumptive nominee in early April.

Sure, most hard working American citizens are ecstatic that the country is being destroyed by a bunch of anarchists.
If they polled nothing but air-headed millennials, that’s the result they’d get. The people are just starting to get pissed off.
Fake, Fake, Fake!
I call BS on this poll. How many of those who are not happy with Trump’s response are because he’s not being more forceful?
Total, Unadulterated, Bull$hit
Didn’t I just read that 70% polled approve the NG getting the riots under control?
Most Americans want to be dragged out and kicked to death or shot in the head by rioters says new IPSOFATSO/REUTERS poll.
A convenient contrast to 71% supporting military intervention per Gallup, I think.
Hillary has a 98% chance of winning!
Why does it take three “reporters” to report a garbage poll?
Reuters makes no distinction between the protests and the rioting.
Americans love rioting, looting and arson now? I mean, it cuts both ways, others can do that too.
Also, I thought “white supremacists” were behind it all? So Americans sympathize with them?
That seems to be the way it’s done these days in the liberal press.
Agree. Most are disappointed that Trump hasn’t been aggressive, that he hasn’t called up the military to put down this insurrection. It’s depressing to see what’s going on every night on tv and not feel helpless. Once he stop this madness because the blue state governors won’t do anything he’ll get high praise
If this is true then we are done. Fortunately, it sounds like this poll was created by lying dog faced ponies.
I saw that survey as well. That survey is completely at odds with this poll.
What can you say when you see contradictory polls except that both can’t be right.
Total BS.
