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. Its 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 Trumps 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.
The media still have control of the sheep.
But antifa that has shown their true colors no
The press: a full week of retractions or their broadcast license gets pulled.
Why are there so many white dnc leaders? Shouldn’t the DNC be representative of it’s members?
The Russia hoax didnt work...lets try this...
How is White Nationalism any worse than Black Nationalism or French nationalism? Please reply.
Follow up Poll question, define White Nationalism.
They would never dare ask it because they know the person being Polled who answered in the affirmative would be clueless.
It doesn't seem that we can. I'm sure you've done what I and most other FReepers do ... counter their crap with facts anywhere and everywhere we can. But the sheeple don't listen. Or they don't want to. It's at the point where the TV media can say anything they want and the followers will believe them.
That would be anyone who opposes the HyperLeft... including all Trump voters.
Yep...even the once reasonable, fair and balanced FoxNews is now repeating many of the medias LIES and mantras.
What platforms do we, and the TRUTH, have, anymore....to broadcast FACTS??
Then we asked - how can one out of 10 children be kidnapped or 'gone missing' if NO ONE WE KNEW - - KNEW ANYONE WHO'S CHILD HAD BEEN KIDNAPPED?
Easy - it was a liberal lie with the full force of the press pushing thIS lie out to American families. The birth of helicopter parents...
This White Nationalist Crap is the same thing... ask yourself - have you ever met a member of the KKK? Or a member of the White Citizens Council?
No.
That's right - this is pure liberal BS.
Since no one I've ever met has known a 'white nationalist' I wonder if this has something to do with the concerted effort of the commie press in our county running 24/7 propaganda?

What is white nationalism anyway? I thought they switched to white supremacy.
I am a nationalist and a patriot that happens to be white.
I like many others used to think the 2nd amendment protected our first 1st amendment rights. I am now starting to think that the 2nd amendment protects us from the 1st amendment.

<><>Elections in India - Voters Reject Handouts! Indian News Sources ^ | 5/19/2019 | Me Posted on 5/19/2019, 9:29:06 AM by Republic_Venom If any of you are watching the end of the elections in India (https://www.republicworld.com/livetv) ......and looking at the exit polls, looks like the voters have re-elected the incumbent PM. He, like Trump, was hounded by the media and liberal elite. The surprising results from the exit polls is that the poor and destitute in India voted for him and not the parties that were offering hand-outs and uber-socialist sops. Australia rejected the liberals, now India has...so has Brazil.

Excellent!
It is SOOOOO accurate too. It’s their favorite trick/lie/deception.
Wonder if the media’s constant shrieking about it these past few days had any effect on the results.
Big time.
