Gun Lobby Propaganda Has Completely Infected The Majority Of American Voters

In the aftermath of the Uvalde, Texas school shooting as well as the string of mass shootings that followed in the week since The Economist/YouGov asked voters in a poll whether or not they oppose giving the choice to teachers and school administrators of arming themselves when at work. A surprising 51% of respondents either strongly or somewhat agreed while only 37% strongly or somewhat oppose. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian discuss on The Young Turks.

“A new poll shows that a majority of Americans say teachers and administrators should be allowed to carry firearms in school, with strong dissent from Democratic voters.

Developments in the unfolding story of the massacre at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas that claimed the lives of 19 children and two adults have thus far revealed a police response that was characterized by a failure to act against the shooter, even as the cops did take action against frantic parents who tried to rush in to save their own kids — some of whom succeeded.

It is in that context that respondents to a new The Economist/YouGov poll were asked “Do you favor or oppose any of the following? Giving schoolteachers and school administrators the option of being armed at school.”

Among all respondents, 51 percent said they either “Favor strongly” (31%) or “Favor somewhat” (20%), while just 37 percent said they “Oppose somewhat” (14%) or “Oppose strongly” (23%) “giving schoolteachers and school administrators the option of being armed at school.”

That includes strong majorities of Republicans (73%) and independents (54%), but not Democrats. Among Dems, just 31 percent said they either “Favor strongly” (13%) or “Favor somewhat” (18%), while a whopping 58 percent said they “Oppose somewhat” (18%) or “Oppose strongly” (40%)."
