    Anyone else see the headline and think, “Nah, he was 100% involved, where’d they get this halfsies shit?”

    It took me a second, ngl.

    LOL, it’s only at 49%?

    And only 71% think he knew? I wonder if that 29% is the Sarah Palin/Nixon Resigning Floor.

      I don’t exactly understand the final reference, but I wonder if it’s the same as “30% of Germans still thought they were the good guys after WW2”

        I got the Sarah Palin Floor concept from The Professional Left podcast. It’s what they call the part of the conservative base that will support Republicans and conservatives no matter what. I think they used this term when Donvict’s approval ratings went to 37%.

        That number is pretty close to the same polling that Nixon had on the day he resigned - 27%.

      The others might be so deep in their echo chamber that the survey question was the first they ever heard of any Trump involvement

    Have them listen to Sascha Riley’s interview and repoll them, it will be 100%. Epstein was the middle man, it was Trump’s crimes.

    That reads like party lines.

    Also “currently deceased” is a hell of a way to describe someone.

      Trump scored the highest, with 49 percent saying he was involved versus 28 percent who said he wasn’t — a 21-point spread.

      I’m guessing 30% are a bunch of NPCs who’ve never formulated a critical thought in their lives.

        Are you not gonna include the 22% who somehow didn’t affirmatively say he wasn’t involved?

          I’m gonna read the article:

          Trump scored the highest, with 49 percent saying he was involved versus 28 percent who said he wasn’t — a 21-point spread.

          The remaining option was “not sure” which isn’t a definitive statement of involvement either way. That captures people that haven’t been paying attention and those who are trying to reconcile contrary information to their echo chambers, but it’s not people who said he wasn’t involved.

              That doesn’t change the reality of the survey and the opinions and understandings of your fellow man.
