More US voters see white nationalism as a threat: poll

The number of U.S. voters who see white nationalism as a threat is greater today than five months ago, according to a new poll.

Forty-seven percent of voters said they perceive white nationalism as a threat, according to a Morning Consult/Politico poll released Wednesday and taken in the days after a mass shooting in El Paso, Texas, last weekend. It’s a 10-point increase from March, when 37 percent of voters said white nationalism was a threat in poll that followed the New Zealand mosque shootings.

The gunman in the New Zealand attack, which killed 51 people, allegedly wrote a manifesto filled with anti-immigrant, anti-Muslim and white supremacist language. The accused gunman in the killing of 22 people in El Paso Saturday is also the reported author of a manifesto that spoke of a Hispanic "invasion."

Voters now view white nationalism as a threat on statistically similar levels as Islamic extremism, at 49 percent, based on the poll.

The uptick in viewing white nationalism as a threat was larger among Democrats and independents than it was amongst Republicans. The poll found an 11-point increase among Democrats, from 58 percent to 69 percent, and a 12-point jump among independents, from 33 percent to 45 percent.

The perceived white nationalist threat among Republicans increased from 17 percent to 22 percent.

One-third of voters said they blame Trump “a lot” for mass shootings, which is an 11-point increase from a poll last year. The majority of Democrats, 59 percent, blame Trump, and just four percent of Republicans blame Trump “a lot” for mass shootings, according to the poll.

The results follow two mass shootings in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio that killed a combined total of more than 30 people.

It has reignited Democrats call for gun control laws, as well as invigorated Democrats in calling out Trump’s divisive rhetoric.

Trump defended his rhetoric against accusations that it's to blame for the attacks. He told reporters Monday his rhetoric “brings people together.”

The poll surveyed 1,960 registered voters between August 5 and 7. There is a margin of error of 2 percentage points.

More U.S. voters would shit themselves packing if a real White Nation became available.

A Politico poll, seriously. For anyone who believes anything the Politico is involved in I have land in the middle of the Florida swamp I’d like to sell.

I’ve never personally met a ‘white nationalist’. I have, however, met plenty of leftists whose hatred for those who didn’t believe/think as they did was profound - with violent overtones.

Total, unadulterated BS!

I have a friend who is a moderate and while not a Trump supporter or liker, when I said to her today that we’re all white supremacists, she just rolled her eyes.

She can’t stand CNN either.

Polls are things that can be constructed, contrived, or construed in any manner to achieve a result such as this one.

Idiots. The media has made them believe it’s a bigger issue than it really is. These same people probably think 25% of the population is gay.

The "NEWS" is nothiong more than a steady stream of socialist propaganda. The left is in a state of full psychotic delusion

I knew leftists were unable to think clearly, but I have never in my life seen them in mass psychosis like this

This has to be met and countered with a “take no prisoners” attack on the lies.

Fortunately the media is cutting its own throat with it insanity.

If there ever was a textbook symbolic display of "White Nationalism", it's the Democrat presidential field.

It's almost entirely a parade of white people who would have minorities or other ethnicities believe that only they can lead them to a more-proseperous and meaningful future.

It's classic Democrat Party hypocrisy on display, and entirely disgusting.

Somebody like Tucker Carlson should be taking them to the shredder.

A volatile reflection on Comcast’s malicious agenda to malign Trump supporters.

This bump won’t last.

And it will work on the white, college educated, suburban mothers they are aimed at. They will just not be comfortable voting for such a man and the party that supports him. That is the point of all of this. They have no issues, are totally out of step with most Americans, but if they can convince enough people that the president and his party are reprobates then they will not vote for them. We may not believe the polls, but trust me many ‘Trenders’ do. They have wanted to sit at the cool kids table since JRHS, nothings changed.

Actually many of them are white nationalists. We need to make the Left/media to define what exactly a white nationalist is. Until they do everybody will just assume they are horrible people and they definitely aren’t one.

Pelosi would call the a wrap-up-smear. Basically you put out negative coverage about Trump and a perceived problem, then you poll people, big surprise you got the result you seeded the population with.

Another poll that hides its bias in sample selection.

Democrat: 727 - 37%
Independent: 606 - 31%
Republican: 627 - 32%

THEN, they compound that by weighting it even heavier by over-sampling women.

Male: 917 - 47%
Female: 1043 - 53%

A six point overall discrepancy in gender for the poll.

Worse yet, they put their thumb on the scale even further by really over-sampling Democrat women and using a smaller over-sample of Republican women, and an UNDER-sample of independent women! This distorts the ultra-progressive tendencies of the wacko Demo-women.

Gender:
Dem Men: 310 - 16%
Dem Women: 418 - 21%

Ind Men: 309 - 16%
Ind Women: 297 - 15%

Rep Men: 299 - 15%
Rep Women: 328 - 17%

That’s a net 5% over-sample of the entire poll for progressive Democrats women. . . and even Republican and Independent women trend more liberal than men.

This is a typical fake poll.
