This doesn’t bode well for democrats.


More Americans believe that the recent spike in violent crime is a ''bigger issue'' than the COVID-19 pandemic, a new poll finds.

According to a new Yahoo News/YouGov poll released Friday, 49% of respondents called violent crime ''a very big problem,'' compared with 32% that feel the virus is, according to the survey.

The survey was conducted with a nationally representative sample of 1,588 adults interviewed online between May 24-26 and has a margin of error of +/- 2.8 percentage points, according to Yahoo News.

The number of people saying the COVID-19 virus was a big problem dropped by almost half from 61 percent last July, while the number that felt crime was a big problem increased 10 percentage points, from 39 to 49 percent, during the same period.

Race relations, the economy and political correctness were also high on the list with 41%, 39% and another 39%, respectively.

While many states are getting back to a semblance of normality as COVID-19 vaccinations increase, crime rates are still at levels well above 2020, according to a report on the virus and crime published in March.

The report by the National Commission on COVID-19 and Criminal Justice found the number of homicides in the nation rose in the first quarter of the year by 24% compared with 2020, and 49% compared with the first quarter of 2019.

The Dems should be worried by this poll.

Because when “violent crime” is the nation’s biggest problem what they really mean is that a single homogeneous group of people are our nation’s biggest problem.

Soros DA’s and judges doing work.

Crime goes up when you let all the criminals go.

I’m not so sure about that. The DNC/CCP media cabal will spin it by blaming it all on guns, poverty, and racism. The flock will buy right in, as they have for years already, and will fault Republicans for not backing gun control, handouts and CRT.
