Voters Say ‘Absolutely Necessary’ for Candidate to Hold Same Views on Guns, Abortion for Support
Breitbart ^ | July 22, 2022

Posted on 07/22/2022 6:06:31 PM PDT by Morgana

Most likely voters say it is “absolutely” necessary for a candidate to share their views on a variety of issues — including guns and abortion — in order to have their support, an Echelon Insights survey released this week found.

The survey asked respondents, “When you are deciding how to vote, how important is it that a candidate share your views on each of the following issues?”

The survey listed twelve specific topics, including education policy, climate change, abortion, immigration, and guns.

Most voters said it is “absolutely” necessary that a candidate shares their views on topics such as guns (62 percent) and abortion (54 percent). Sixty percent said it is “absolutely” necessary that a candidate shares a voter’s view on healthcare, and 56 percent said the same of taxes. Another 56 percent said the same of national security and the military, 54 percent said the same of government spending, and 51 percent said the same of immigration policy.

Just 37 percent of voters said it is absolutely necessary for a candidate to share their views on same-sex marriage, and 40 percent said the same of foreign policy and climate change.

However, nearly three-quarters believe a candidate needs to focus on economic issues, while just one in five say the same of social issues. Seventy percent, overall, said the economic situation under President Biden’s leadership is getting worse, and 58 percent said they are feeling at least somewhat less secure in their finances than they were one year ago.

Well, DUH!
If the candidate is opposed to my views they are not going to represent my views.
If they do not represent me I will not be voting for them.
This could not be more basic, but someone needs a survey to understand this?

Pro-life, pro-Second Amendment, build the wall, and deport all illegal aliens and anyone who entered the country initially illegally or overstayed a visa. Deport them all!

Plenty of Dems own guns. But they’ll vote the ticket knowing that guns will never be outlawed.

The libs are insane. I can’t imagine one single lib being fired on at a setting like Greenwood Mall that would wish there was no one handy with a gun to take down the shooter.

I suspect that once all of the information is out, will find that he was closer. I have shot competitively, worked at a range, don’t know his history, most people I’ve seen cannot remotely do this, especially with that many in that short of time, plus the urgency of that moment.

And we need another Trump to get us a few more originalist and conservative justices on the Supreme Court plus in the appeals courts around the US. It’s past time to have a solid period of time with conservative justices.

The police should know how far it was and I think they said 40 yards..but you would have to look at where all the pillars are because he braced himself against a pillar when he started shooting so he had to have been sitting close to one.

Someone asked his lawyer to clarify but lawyer not answering anything at this time. He is just nailing Shannon watts for calling Eli a criminal. I think he is probably scouring for all the people he can sue....!

I read somewhere (probably an FR post) that he quickly moved closer after the first shot.

That would make things ‘easier’; not all shots at 40 yds.
