'Antifa' attack the statue of a Polish hero who opposed slavery<\/a><\/rel><\/p>\n<p><big>49% consider 'Antifa' a terrorist group, 30% say no<\/big><\/p>\n<p>Last week, Rasmussen Reports published an opinion poll indicating that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rasmussenreports.com\/public_content\/politics\/current_events\/social_issues\/49_say_antifa_is_a_terrorist_organization\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">most Americans believe that \"Antifa\" is a terrorist organization<\/a>. In total, <strong>49% believe that it is, compared to 30% who believe that it is not<\/strong>, while the rest of the respondents are not sure about it. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Rasmussen_Poll\/status\/1269650520328847361\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the data<\/a> published by that company, <strong>the greatest rejection of \"Antifa\" occurs among voters of the Republican Party (72%)<\/strong>, while among voters of the Democratic Party 41% consider no and 32% say yes. In other words,<strong> almost a third of Democratic voters agree with Trump in pointing out \"Antifa\" as terrorist.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><big>A majority of blacks and whites believe that 'Antifa' is a terrorist<\/big><\/p>\n<p>The differences between blacks and whites in this regard are milder than some might think: <strong>49% of whites and 45% of blacks consider \"Antifa\" a terrorist group<\/strong>, compared to 31% of whites and 29 % of blacks who deny that \"Antifa\" is terrorist. <strong>Among people of other races (Hispanics, Asians, etc.) the rejection towards \"Antifa\" is even greater: 51%.<\/strong> Regarding age ranges, 49% of people between 18 and 39 consider \"Antifa\" a terrorist group, reaching 50% among people between 40 and 64 years old. The percentage among those over 65 drops to 45%. <strong>The survey was carried out between June 1 and 2, after several days of serious riots<\/strong> caused by the extreme left in the United States.<\/p>\n<p><big>The majority do not consider the riots to be a legitimate response<\/big><\/p>\n<p>Likewise, and according to data published by Rasmussen Reports, <strong>49% of those surveyed believe that the riots are not a legitimate reaction<\/strong> after the death of George Floyd at the hands of a Police officer, and they think that criminals have taken advantage of this situation, compared to <strong>40% who consider it a legitimate reaction.<\/strong> One might wonder how much of that 40% would be willing to be harmed by this street terrorism, as many Americans have been harmed. <strong>Approving violence and chaos in other neighborhoods is very comfortable and easy (and unsupportive) ... until the violence reaches your community and your home.<\/strong> Then things change.<\/p>\n<p><big>Trump passes Obama's approval at this stage of his term<\/big><\/p>\n<p>Rasmussen Reports has been publishing a daily president approval rating. Significantly, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rasmussenreports.com\/public_content\/politics\/trump_administration\/prez_track_jun05\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">last Friday, June 5, Trump had a 48% approval rating, one point more than Obama than on that same date in 2012<\/a>, during his first term. On May 25, the date of George Floyd's death, Trump's approval rating was 43%. It fell to 42% on May 27, on the second day of protests. <strong>Following the violent incidents<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/national-guard-troops-states-protest-response-2020-5?IR=T\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">and the requests from 15 states to deploy the National Guard<\/a>, which were launched on May 30,<strong> on June 1, Trump's approval level was already 47%.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><big>Trump achieves an approval rating among blacks unusual for a Republican president<\/big><\/p>\n<p>The details on the approval ratings published by Rasmussen on Friday are even more striking: and it is that <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Rasmussen_Poll\/status\/1268969966331625472\/photo\/1\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Trump achieves a 41% approval rate among the black community<\/a>, <strong>something very rare in a Republican president.<\/strong> To give us an idea, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/election-us-2016-37922587\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">in 2016 Trump only obtained 8% of the votes of the black community<\/a>. Keep in mind that for many years <strong>the Democratic Party has had a great fishing ground for votes in that community<\/strong>, secured after promoting subsidies in it for decades, a policy that <strong>has generated a large captive vote and at the same time has created<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2020\/06\/02\/la-replica-de-una-mujer-negra-a-una-blanca-que-piensa-que-hay-opresion-racial-en-eeuu\/\">numerous social problems in those communities<\/a>, by encouraging unemployment. <strong>Has the Democratic Party been wrong in its strategy of instigating racial conflict?<\/strong> At the moment the polls show that yes.
