Dem Poll: Dems’ pro-crime agenda is unpopular

Democrat pollster Navigator is out with a poll showing Americans of all political persuasions agree that crime is the number one issue facing our country, National Journal reports. 

“For the first time, crime ranked ahead of the pandemic as the top issue for all voters. Even more surprisingly, it was an issue that voters of both parties ranked highly: 57 percent of Republicans called the issue a major crisis while 52 percent of Democrats concurred. Most significantly, 70 percent of African-American voters called violent crime a major crisis.”

“The increased salience of crime, as the rate of homicides and other incidents of violence skyrocket across the country, is now a threat to Democrats’ congressional majorities in next year’s midterms. The party’s left-wing activists advanced ‘defunding the police’ as a campaign slogan throughout much of 2020, without much pushback from party leaders.” 

This is very bad news for House Democrats who have spent the last year promoting pro-crime policies.
