Well over three-quarters of Americans would support a nationwide mask mandate, a Hill-HarrisX survey revealed on Monday.

The survey, taken July 26-27 among 948 registered voters, asked, “Would you support or oppose a national mandate to wear a face mask?”

A hefty majority, 82 percent, said they would support such a mandate. Only 18 percent opposed. Of the 82 percent, 61 percent said they would “strongly” support the measure, and 21 percent said they would “somewhat” support it.

Voters appear to be united on the issue across various age groups, races, and party lines. A majority of Republicans, 66 percent, indicated they would support a nationwide mask mandate, as did 85 percent of independents and 93 percent of Democrats.

Are these the same polls that predicted Hillary winning in 2016?

Pollsters are basically domestic terrorists putting crap like this out.

.000001% of the population polled, and the headline is “86% of the country supports X”

do you think exhaled droplets just fall to the ground? it sounds like you need to do some homework.

I wear a mask on the way to work alone in my car. I have to have one on to get in to work and go from there.

‘What exactly are the masks suppose to do?’

Compliance conditioning for microchipping.

The leftist mayors and governors are not going to willingly give us back our freedom. If we want it back, we are going to have to take it.

It’s pretty obvious by now that masks do nothing.

I support one in part because some governors have gone rogue, like Kemp, and aren't giving local areas the freedom to do as they need in their communities to protect their people. I voted Kemp because Kemp wasn't Abrams but I am NOT happy with his performance.

The thing about this idea of a national mandate is I remember Democrats and the fake news attacking Trump early on saying he can't dictate our response which is why his administration has released guidelines and put the onus on governors & local communities to do the right thing. He then got attacked for not taking responsibility. (Of course.)

That’s assuming you will cough or sneeze on someone AND are within 6 feet of them.

How do they do nothing if people aren't wearing them? It's a self-fulfilling prophesy if you refuse to wear a mask, thus aiding the spread if you're a carrier, and then claiming your non-participation has nothing to do with mask wearing not helping.

You're no different than a Democrat or spoiled child who breaks things and points fingers at someone else.

How often are you within 6 feet of someone? I am. Much of my day, every day, at work.

That’s always a good argument: others do it, so should you.

Conform, comply, group norming, group acceptance, that’s the “science” behind the American burka.

‘Masks reduce spread of the virus by reducing excretions (spittle, coughs, sneezes, etc)’

a common handkerchief (or the crook of one’s arm does the exact same thing...

‘Masks are not an “assault on our freedom”

what crap...being refused service in an essential marketplace for ‘improper’ usage of a needless piece of cloth is not an assault on my freedom exactly how...? the marketplace doing so is discriminating against me for a marginally existent reason...and the marketplace cites the government protocols as guidance, so governmental pressure dictates the discrimination...

‘And if we reduce spread..we get our economy back quicker.’

man, you really, really don’t get it, do you...? you’re as dumb as these college kids hectoring us to ‘wear your masks so we can have a football season...’ you think for one minute that wearing masks is going to magically get the governors to let their feet off our necks...? why do you think the goal of ‘flattening the curve’ morphed into ‘no cases whatsoever, anywhere, anytime...? Eh...? So we could get our normal lives back when the curve was in fact flattened...?

one last thing; since you’re such a fan of these filthy cloths, do you feel it your duty to rat on the miscreants you see ‘misusing’ them; like for wearing them under the nose, like I did at a store and had some old bitch rat me out...is that your game..?
