A majority of likely U.S. voters believes the country is experiencing a war on police and politicians should enact policies classifying attacks on cops as hate crimes, according to a new poll.
A majority of likely U.S. voters believes the country is experiencing a war on police and politicians should enact policies classifying attacks on cops as hate crimes, according to a new poll.
Thursday’s Rasmussen poll was released amid a wave of calls to defund police and a swell in anti-police sentiment. Since 2018, the percentage of likely voters believing there's a war on cops has increased from 43% to 59%.
The latest data represented a slight uptick from the 58% high reported in 2015. Meanwhile, 29% disagreed with that view and 12% reported as undecided. The poll has a 3% margin of error.
Rasmussen conducted the poll with 1,000 likely voters on Sept. 15-16, as news surfaced that police officers were attacked in Compton, Calif., and other cities. Last weekend, footage emerged in which an assailant walked up to a Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department patrol car and wounded two deputies who were inside. CLICK HERE FOR MORE.
