A new national survey finds that nearly half of Democrats agree with Republicans and independents about arming teachers to keep schools safe. This is a huge loss for Democrats, folks.
The poll of 1,000 people who are likely to vote in 2022 finds the majority support the idea of arming teachers.
Per Breitbart News:
The Convention of States Action and the Trafalgar Group poll found 57.5 percent of American voters said that preventing properly trained school teachers and school staff from carrying a firearm makes schools more dangerous. Some 37.4 percent said that scenario makes schools “much more dangerous.”
And almost half of Democrats agree — 48.2 percent believe that preventing properly trained school teachers and school staff from carrying a firearm makes schools more dangerous, whereas 41.3 percent say less dangerous.
Some 57.1 of Independent voters agree and 67.5 percent of Republicans agree.
And the youngest demographic who took part in the poll — 18 to 24-year-olds— are in favoring of arming teachers by wide margin.
Breitbart added:
- 61.8 percent of 18-24-year-old voters believe that preventing properly trained school teachers and school staff from carrying a firearm makes schools more dangerous.
- 55.8 percent of 25-34-year-old voters believe that preventing properly trained school teachers and school staff from carrying a firearm makes schools more dangerous.
- 59 percent of 35-44-year-old voters believe that preventing properly trained school teachers and school staff from carrying a firearm makes schools more dangerous.
- 60 percent of 45-64-year-old voters believe that preventing properly trained school teachers and school staff from carrying a firearm makes schools more dangerous
This is a big loss for the Democrat agenda. The Democrats want guns eliminated in every way, in every place. And especially in the schools. But now, even a big number of their own voters are opposing them.
