I don’t usually watch Morning Joe but caught a little of their discussion about how Trump and Republicans supporting re-opening the economy are running up against widespread support for current restrictions or even more restrictions, even among Republicans.
It fly’s in the face of media reports of what appears to be AstroTurfed attention grabbing protests demanding a lifting of restrictions.
Only around 12% of Americans support lifting of restrictions and as many as 26% think the restrictions don’t go far enough for a total of 87% in favor of restrictions as they are.
As you can see from the above chart even 78% of Republicans support restrictions with Democrats at 95%.
Trump’s poll numbers in key swing states also appear to be dropping and his daily reality TV tirade show doesn’t seem to be helping him, especially among the older Boomer demographic.
