MY first thought as I read this article is "WTF? It came from AP. Why should I take seriously anything they say".

Then I thought "Heck, is it possible that as much as us Freepers talk about the decline of the MSM that they still have a hold on a significant chunk of the US population? Has the American public (even older Americans) become so dumbed down that they can't think for themselves?"

I'm trying to establish whether this was a poll driven by P to scare people and have them think badly of the Trump Administration or whether we as a nation have reached the point where we've finally gone plain 'ol stupid?

Comments or opinions - anyone?

Today was the first day I have worn a mask since the Scamdemic started. Indiana now has a mask rule.

I already have run into a mask nazi working at a local store. I informed the manger I will never set foot in that store again. She didn’t care.

I’m sorry if the following thread and associated video posted by freeper red fog which questions integrity of masks has already been reposted, but patriots need to be aware of possible problems with masks in my non-medical opinion.

Send "Orange Man Bad" federal and state government desperate Democrats and RINOs home in November!

Supporting PDJT with a new patriot Congress and state government leaders that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA and stopping SARS-CoV-2 will effectively give fast-working Trump a "third term" in office imo.

The key to getting the results you want in a poll is to limit your pool to those who will most likely to give you the answer you want.

So take any poll with a king sized grain of salt.

It's hard to lie more than the Associated Press.

If this poll were true, why are governors threatening further lockdowns citing people not wearing masks?

Notice ABCCBSCNNMSNBCNBCNPR avoiding showing pictures of people without masks in public, especially in places like New York City?

If so many are in favor of wearing masks, why do we need to make it a legal requirement?

Please respond to this survey

Do you support requiring masks in public?

Yes - I want to live

Actually, I believe the poll (and I rarely do, having been in the business and know how it works.)

Look at it this way: Half of them are brain-dead Democrats who love being told what to do. And if FR is any indicator of those on ‘the right’... Then half of them are full of fear or at least want the social approbation of the crowd and want everyone masked too.

I believe these numbers. I knew this country was doomed back in the spring when I saw how many so-called “conservatives” right here on this website we’re buying into the bullsh!t that’s being peddled by our government and media.

If that many support wearing masks there is no need for a mandate even if you support it.

Are there people actually wanting to wear masks but aren’t because the government hasn’t issued a mandate? How ridiculous is this.

If true, then 75% of Americans are not very smart. Maybe a but brain dead.
