Majority of Voters In Wisconsin, Where Jacob Blake Was Shot, Think Trump’s Response Has Been Harmful

More than half of respondents from all six states said they support both protesters and law enforcement, as racial justice protests have erupted across the nation for over three months. Fifty-three percent of swing-state voters have a favorable view of protests for criminal justice reform, and 72 percent said they have a positive opinion on their local police department.

Despite support for cops, the majority of respondents said they agree that “we should invest more in education, mental health and social services and spend less on policing” — a notion many Black Lives Matter activists have shortened to “defund the police.”
