The percentage of Democrats that believe there's a "crisis" at the southern border has tripled since January, according to a CNN poll released Tuesday.

Seventy percent of Democrats consider the situation at the border to be a crisis, which is slightly lower than the average across political parties of 74%. That number is over three times higher than the same poll from January, in which 23% said the situation at the border then qualified as a crisis.

What do they consider the nature of the crisis to be? Invasion, or mistreatment of “migrants”?

Democrats don’t know which bathroom to use. Is anybody surprised that they believe things which aren’t probable or possible?

Also my thought. Crisis as in we need to strengthen our borders or go soft and let them all in?

“Repubs need to stand fast because they are winning.”

No. They are not. There is no way one can call this border CF a win.

The crisis the dems are yapping about is not the crisis of illegals flooding in but — in their eyes — the so-called humanitarian crisis. The dems want to spend money to make it easier for them to come in ... not keep them out.

When Trump and the dems talk about a border crisis — each side is talking about completely different things.

Yes — the dems changed their position from “there is no crisis” to “yes there is a crisis” only after they calculated how it would help them. They just redefined what “crisis” means for public consumption.

You have nailed it.

While the former is the actual reason for the border crisis it is the latter explanation that Trump Haters (AKA Democrats) will adopt. So it will remain “Trump’s Fault”.

They want their voters cared for properly as opposed to Americans.

Reading the underlying report provides some interesting nuggets:

The same poll finds little movement in Trump’s approval rating over that time for handling immigration (42% approve now, 41% did in January). Trump’s overall approval numbers hold steady in the new poll at 43% approving and 52% disapproving.

There is disagreement across party lines about the cause of the crisis at the border. A majority of Democrats consider it a crisis because of the treatment migrants are receiving as they attempt to cross the border (54%), while most Republicans say they think it’s a crisis because of the number of migrants attempting to enter the country (63%).

Looks like a white knuckle election brewing. If Trump wins, and I think he will, heads will explode, and violence will erupt. If Trump loses, prepare for retribution.

Agree. If he wins this will be LA riots on steroids nationally.

Great question.

I doubt their perspective is the same as ours.

I wish that I shared your optimism about the electorate I know the Dem field is woefully inadequate, but between TDS and cheating, plus another generation steeped in leftist ideology, I can’t be for certain. That said, the usual caveat that the event(s) on which the election may turn have not yet occurred.
