WASHINGTON - A majority of Americans disapprove of protests against restrictions aimed at preventing the spread the coronavirus, according to a new poll that also finds the still-expansive support for such limits - including restaurant closures and stay-at-home orders - has dipped in recent weeks.
The new survey from the University of Chicago Divinity School and The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research finds 55% of Americans disapprove of the protests that have popped up in some states as some Americans begin chafing at public health measures that have decimated the global economy. Thirty-one percent approve of the demonstrations.
**SNIP**
Democrats are more likely than Republicans to disapprove of such protests, 67% to 51%. Thirty-two percent of Republicans and 25% of Democrats say they approve. Only 8% said public protests, marches and rallies should be unrestricted during the outbreak, while 41% think they should be allowed only with restrictions and 50% think they should not be allowed at all.

Similarly, 67% of Americans now say they favor requiring bars and restaurants to close, down from 76% in the earlier poll. The poll also suggested dipping support for requiring Americans to limit gatherings to 10 people or fewer (from 82% to 75%) and requiring postponement of nonessential medical care (from 68% to 57%).

BULL HOCKEY!
where did the shills come from...
every post?
they are so easy to spot.
Internal polls must show Trump way ahead
For them to be camping out here
Never got a letter or phone call asking us to phrase any questions, never.
Interesting how both the support and opposition is not all that lopsided compared to some issues. So the views on this matter go beyond partisan breakdowns - both bipartisan support and bipartisan opposition.
If true that mean there are many stupid and ignorant people in America.
An A$$ Press poll. Sure.
“A majority of Americans disapprove of protests against restrictions”
Yeah, I dont believe that one.
We always support those protesting restrictions on our freedoms.
We “Americans” that is. Not the rat-basetard commie wet rags that hide in their shantys
They’re really reaching now.
If anything, this is beginning to inform me that the whole lockdown is a charade.
Still going to be back in Lansing Thursday.
Stop right there. Conducted by far left-wingers. No need to go any further. It was a push poll.
Was thinking about the same thing. We’d still be kissing English monarch taint if we did what the majority thought
BS! Although I prefer to watch the boat, and vehicle parades in support of President Trump!
Yes, once again, “1,002 adults” speak for 330+ million Americans. GG. /s
I will say that a “majority of Americans” are complete dumb asses and know their ass from their elbow so I wouldn’t be surprised
So many good things that shouldn't be needed that it makes one wonder what happened to our Country...
Protesters in the streets because of overbearing Governors try to enslave them.
Entities like Wounded Warrior which do so much good but it's an abomination that they are needed to take care of our heroes.
The list goes on....
I say this is another BS poll - protesting all of our freedoms being taken away as we are being put under house arrest for really bad bad flu epidemic given to us on purpose by CHINA and NWO as the first shot across our bow in the new WAR for trying to instill SOCIALISM in AMERICA and WE THE PEOPLE are against Protesting against that intrusion - I don’t believe it - or people are dumber than I thought!
huh?
More Lying MSM/BS polls.
Poll: Majority of Americans Don’t Believe Lying MSM Polls
I'll take it you mean there should be no shut downs, so, therefore no need for protests.
