Voters say crime is a problem, but don't approve of Trump's response

Crime is the latest issue where the president has moved too far to the right relative to the public's ideal policy

I’m traveling this morning to give a lecture on public opinion and partisan confirmation bias (something of an epilogue to Strength In Numbers, the book), so this Chart of the Week will be short. And honestly, after already writing four articles already this week, I’m running on fumes.

However, I have not yet written at any length about Donald Trump’s federalization of the Washington, D.C., police department, so I wanted to touch briefly on several new polls showing voters oppose the president’s actions on the issue. That’s below the fold in this week’s Chart of the Week.
