More than half of Americans believe that Immigration and Customs Enforcement has gone “too far” in its pursuit of arresting migrants, according to a new poll.
While 54 percent said ICE has used its power too aggressively, the sentiment was even greater among Democrats at 83%, according to a poll by PBS News, NP and Marist.
Nearly half of Republicans, by contrast, said ICE’s actions are appropriate and an additional 31% said the agency had not gone far enough in enforcing Donald Trump’s mass deportation agenda.
The vast majority of Americans (80%) support the U.S. government’s deportation of migrants without permanent legal status who have been convicted of a violent crime.
welcome to the wolfman constant. always assume any polling data over ~65% is an overwhelming majority and that ~75% or more effectively indicates “everyone with a functioning brain”
then think about that 95% of black women voted against this
DDG isn’t giving me any returns for this, can you ELI5?
in any given population 15% will believe they’ve encountered a wolfman. i’ll try to find you the info, but basically it’s about how when sampling data for what a collective believes you’ll always find some absolute kooks
TIL about the wolfman constant. I never had a clever name for it, but I had the “hopeless dipshit percentage” at 25 to 33%. That’s the number of people who can’t name a single branch of the US government, think Obama is a Kenyan citizen, think Sadam Hussein caused 9/11, think astrology is real science, and professed that they would support Trump literally no matter what he said or did.
Same. The moment the other person said “75% is everyone with a functioning brain,” I immediately thought of the ever present 25-35% of some population are in favor of “horrible metric”. Then just apply this to everything.
Please do, it sounds interesting
