Two Thirds of Americans Afraid to Give Honest Responses on Polls

[JimBowie1958]

This is the point I have been making for months now; people lie top pollsters or skewer the polling by not answering if they support Trump.

Poll: Nearly Two-thirds of Americans Fear Sharing Their Political Views

62% of Americans, and 77% of Republicans, are afraid to share their views. Only staunch liberals (58%) say they feel free to do so.

According to the poll, 62% of Americans — and 77% of Republicans — are afraid to share their views. Even a majority of Democrats (52%) report that they are afraid to share their views. ​

​

The only group that feels they are free to share their views are “staunch liberals,” 58% of whom say they can do so.​

​

Cato’s Emily Ekins writes:​

​

​

A new Cato national survey finds that self‐censorship is on the rise in the United States. Nearly two-thirds—62%—of Americans say the political climate these days prevents them from saying things they believe because others might find them offensive. The share of Americans who self‐censor has risen several points since 2017 when 58% of Americans agreed with this statement.​

…​

Strong liberals stand out, however, as the only political group who feel they can express themselves. Nearly 6 in 10 (58%) of staunch liberals feel they can say what they believe. However, centrist liberals feel differently. A slim majority (52%) of liberals feel they have to self‐censor, as do 64% of moderates, and 77% of conservatives. This demonstrates that political expression is an issue that divides the Democratic coalition between centrist Democrats and their left flank.
…​

What’s changed? In 2017 most centrist liberals felt confident (54%) they could express their views. However today, slightly less than half (48%) feel the same. The share who feel they cannot be open increased 7 points from 45% in 2017 to 52% today. In fact, there have been shifts across the board, where more people among all political groups feel they are walking on eggshells.​

…​

Nearly a third (32%) of employed Americans say they personally are worried about missing out on career opportunities or losing their job if their political opinions became known.​

I'm not.
But I don't do polls either.
But if I did, I'd be very honest....and can't see why anyone wouldn't be.

 

[candycorn]

Trump supporters are afraid to state they support the blob? I think the word you're looking for is "ashamed".

Trump supporters are afraid to state they support the blob? I think the word you're looking for is "ashamed".

No, twit....it is called losing your job for being a republican or Trump voter.....you moron.

 

[the other mike]

Trump supporters are afraid to state they support the blob? I think the word you're looking for is "ashamed".

Is that almost as bad as being helplessly triggered by a cap and the word capitalism ?

Fascists like Candyporn want to kill free speech, but for the moment they have to keep that under the table.

That video is the truth......the more people who see that, the more the racism...the real racism, of the left wing/democrat party is exposed....

So they did a poll asking people how honest they are in polls....

How accurate can that poll be if all those people are afraid to say what they really think? Wouldn't that make the poll useless?

 

[XponentialChaos]

Polls are inaccurate according to this poll.

I'll go with the fact that if you are conservative and manage to think and speak your opinion, the left will crush you and your livelihood. They have gone that insane.

I really don't have a problem with people misleading the polls for the polls have been misleading the people for decades.

Depends on the methodology of the poll.
