Another way to interpret the Republican response to pressuring broadcasters to remove shows is that 58% of Republicans don't think it's clearly unacceptable (30 acceptable and 29 not sure) vs, 12% total for Democrats and 26% total for Independents. Another sad example of the transformation of the party that once was always chanting about freedom, the Constitution and the rule of law. The phrase "Americans believe" seems meaningless to me anymore.
And, I was fascinated to see a distinction you make in the Trump issues poll that I haven’t seen anywhere else. Specifically, separating out immigration and deportation.
As someone who has been at Delaney Hall, I think still the largest deportation center in NJ and on the east coast, and regularly witnessing the despicable behavior of ICE towards family members waiting to see their loved ones, it would be great to regularly check in on where Americans stand on this Administration’s “cruelty is the point” approach.
So the questions focus on “deportations” v. “immigration.”
And taking into account the well-studied positive impact these hard-working people (they pay taxes, more than you can say for our president!) have on the economy and our society, explore where Americans stand on identifying these folks and from there not treating them like prisoners in a 5th-world country, but getting them on a path to citizenship? I wonder if support for that, DACA, etc, will shift.
Super nervous about people getting news on TikTok which will soon be in the hands of Larry Ellison, et. al.
Wondering how people view their own lawmakers and lawmakers as a whole re. how Congress responds to things like Executive overreach and literal fascist ideology/fascist agenda, like the authorization to use whatever “full force” is supposed to mean in order to subdue Portland.
Portland!
Also wondering about perception of making homelessness illegal via EO & using the military to remove unhoused people. Because who knows where they are taking them.
I think you and Tim Snyder lead in the % of articles I file as “Important”—thank you so much!
Thank you, J E! I’ve been thinking about Portland too, trying to figure out how to write about this in a new way. For one, it seems the military intervention here happened faster, and with less coverage at first, than the deployment to Los Angeles earlier this year.
Question: Do you have the numbers on how many fired fed workers, grant recipients denied money, got restored by going to court?

I’ve just discovered you - all I can say is wow.

How to you adjust in the Substack polls for the fact that only people who read your stuff of Substack come across them?
I just don’t cite any surveys of Substack readers as representative of the population as a whole
