Around 40% of college students said they will likely or certainly protest if President Donald Trump wins the election, according to an Axios poll released Friday.
Exactly 22% of students surveyed said they are likely to protest and 17% said they will certainly protest should Trump win the 2020 election, the College Reaction/Axios survey found. More students, 30%, said they would not protest if Trump won and 31% said they are not likely to protest a Trump victory.
The dissatisfaction with the status quo is also reflected by the number of students who are willing to protest Trump reelection with 40% of college students saying they will likely or certainly participate in protests, the survey said.
Only 1% said they are absolutely certain to protest if Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden wins the election, according to the survey. Almost three quarters, 70%, said they absolutely will not protest if Biden wins the 2020 election.
The survey also found that 2% said they are likely to protest while 27% said they are unlikely to protest should Biden win. When asked, If someone you know does not vote even though they can, will you address, confront, or otherwise convey disappointment towards them? more than half, 61%, said that they would or probably would, according to the survey.
Almost a quarter, 24%, said they probably will not confront nonvoting acquaintances and 16% said definitely not for the same question, according to the survey.
We found that young people are bummed by the state of the nation. More than 75% believe race relations, Americas standing in the world, and safety have plunged since 2016, Cyrus Beschloss, founder of College Reaction, told the Daily Caller News Foundation.
Most students support Joe Biden, so a Trump win would naturally sting most. But what we learned is that it would also spark swift demonstrations, rather than empty rants. Civic engagement is cool now, Beschloss continued.
The survey was conducted via email Oct. 6 7 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.3%. The poll was done from a representative sample of 872 college students, according to the survey methodology.
Oh yes, making college grads even less desirable for employement.
The proletariat needs TVs!
i wonder what kind of hats and/or what body part they will be dressing up as when they protest.
I saw an anti-Trump protest tonight. About 15-20 people were on a main artery street that has pretty heavy traffic. There were cops there trying to contain the crowd. They were mostly young and at least one was carrying a F*** Trump banner.
Not long after I drove by again and the cops had hustled the mangy dogs off the busy street and into a parking lot on a side street.
I have no doubt there will be great “civil unrest” when Trump wins reelection. And you can count on these demonstrations (maybe riots) being tacitly approved by the liberal communities in which they occur. It could get ugly.
Yea, protest and burn down your university. They are crap now anyway.
1921: angry white Democrats burn down a black community.
2020: angry white Democrats return to burning down black communities.
... this time they claim they are helping. So much “progress” in a century!
Angry white Democrats do burn down “white neighborhoods” in places like Seattle but elsewhere they are often “helping”.
They already have a house on the street with signs on it saying to simply honk your horn if you don’t like Trump. Basically they ask you to make noise and be an a-hole to the whole block without proper reason for using your car’s horn (as a warning). I didn’t do it.
Imagine the shock for the parents when they find out that terrorism conviction will make their child’s education not worth a damn. It will be like flushing their money in the toilet.
“will make”?
I think that post may have some general tense issues.
?
At the moment, these answers are merely empty rants. I am saying that as a matter of logic rather than critique or opinion. All we have learned is in fact that they are ranting that they will riot. We can not know what it would spark until it comes to pass.
Loser kids . . . follow them home and see what’s behind the door.
If we give them all participation trophies for the election, will that make them feel good enough about themselves so they dont riot?
Let leak another poll that says 97% of Trump supporters say they will shoot collage age rioters when Trump wins re-election!
Few Americans are as stupid as undergraduate college students.
Well, given the lack of open dining areas in fast food places these days, they will not even have the do you want fries with that job when they get out.
Then cut off their $$$$
Intimidation poll by Axios. If you dont want demonstrations and riots, vote for Biden.
College students are the biggest idiots out there. Ive said that for years and nothing will change my mind.
Judging by the defective product they are producing, most colleges and universities no longer serve any useful purpose. In fact, students and society at large are worse off for having attended them. Wed be a far wiser, more productive nation if we instead taught these kids to be plumbers or something, because what theyre learning now is worse than useless.
