Stunning 23 Percent of Police Have 'Favorable View' of White Supremacists in New Poll

Amid continued protests for racial justice sparked by the police killing of George Floyd, a new poll finds that nearly one in four police officers holds favorable views of white supremacists.

The good news from this week’s Morning Consult tracking poll is that the overwhelming majority of Americans — 84 percent — view white supremacists unfavorably. Among political parties, Republicans were most likely to hold favorable views of white supremacists with 3 percent “very favorable” and 3 percent “somewhat favorable,” but among a very large sample of 1,618 men, 10 percent hold “very favorable” or “somewhat favorable” views.

Also in double-digits were “non-religious” voters at 11 percent, three age categories of white men (white male voters under 45 at 13%, 18-34 at 10% and 35-44 at 18%), “Religious Non-Protestant/Catholic” at 10 percent, and Black men 18-34 at 11 percent.

Then, there were the police, 23 percent of whom responded that they had either a very or somewhat favorable view of white supremacists. Only 54 percent said they hold “very unfavorable” views, and 10 percent at “somewhat unfavorable.”

The results were slightly lower for police households at 18 percent favorable, but an identical 54 percent very unfavorable.

With smaller — but still statistically significant — sample sizes, the poll showed favorable views of white supremacists by police and police households cut across racial lines, with slightly higher favorability among “POC [people of color] police HH [households]” and among Black and Hispanic police officers.

It’s important to note that while the overall poll has a margin of error of +/-2 percent, the effects of sampling error increase as the size of the sample decreases, and sub-samples of fewer than 100-125 people are not reported by many pollsters. All of the sample sizes, aside from the last two listed above, were well in excess of that mark.

I'm pretty sure that percentage is way too low, since it only measures the cops willing to admit to it.

That said, at a higher percentage of Hispanic cops having "Very favorable" views of WS than white cops

 

[CreepyMcCreeperson]

The term white supremacist turns a lot of White people off because they think of this:

They know that kind of open racism looks bad. But do they think they are superior, and are threatened by non-white people being in positions of authority, of course. So these polls aren’t that accurate.

 

[Lakers Offseason]

Am I reading that table right or does it really show only 45% of Black non-Hispanic cop view WS very unfavorable?

17% also somewhat favorable? wtf

Not surprised neither.

i would go as far to say at least 1 out of 4 police officers ARE white supremacists.

not only that, but a lot of ws are in leadership positions in the law enforcement industry and in the state judiciary. this is why systemic racism is so effective at railroading black people.

if any swamp needs to be drained it's them.

y'all know what we need to do to change the picture, but some of you still think voting doesn't matter.

 

[JackRoss]

Assume all non black people don't fukk with you. Know all skinfolk not kinfolk. You run into less bs this way

 

[Kenny West]

No surprise.

Peep that this survey isnt exclusively taken from white cops either.

 

[Shadow King]

fukk all that what are those 12 black cops voting very favorable and somewhat favorable thinking?

 

[Child_Of_God]
