lots of questions for you about "democracy" and how you define it. we live in a democratic republic. It is irresponsible to call it just a democracy.
Does not support $500 billion to support small businesses and state and local governments hurt by the COVID pandemic
Does not support impeaching Trump for incitement of insurrection
Supports $500 billion of spending on new transportation infrastructure projects
Objected to Joe Biden's election certification
Does not support $500 billion of spending on new transportation infrastructure projects
Supports $500 billion to support small businesses and state and local governments hurt by the COVID pandemic
Supports impeaching Trump for incitement of insurrection
Affirmed Joe Biden's election certification
Some of the questions about political violence seemed to skew a tad bit to the left.
I felt this survey was slightly biased. It certainly favored a democratic government as opposed to a republic which is what we supposedly have.
I do have an issue with a few questions in the beginning where I was asked about if a Republican has a the right of violence against a Democrat but never reversed? Too Biased in my opinion! I do know that a some of your questions are left leaning! And never the other way! I am not a puppet!
I do not want a Democracy.....I like the Republic we have. The government has gotten way too big. It is time to have people at the head of the government to be well versed in running a big business. My friends are sick of politicians. Especially the ones that come into government with no money, and end up multi millionaires, like Maxine Waters and the rest. We had a great past 4 years in our economy certainly no help from Dems.
Questions about which candidate I would support, I wouldn't support either. However, the question didn't havea choice to choose neither.
All the questions on this survey were clear and in a concise manner.
Thank you for making this survey it was fun.
your survey is so biased I would quit taking them if it would end your biased surveys.
This feel slanted against President Donald Trump.
The beginning questions were worded in a way that made it difficult to choose an answer.
The questions about the candidates A & B, on my phone I could not see candidate B until the last question on this subject. I couldn’t go back either...Very good otherwise but there is a bias in the media that is never addressed and the rioting and looting in major cities is being ignored.
Some of the questions were confusing about the government issues.
The questions were valid and intelligent. However, the violent questions and how reactions are violent and condoned were only against republicans. In a supposed unbiased survey, leading questions are not unbiased and once again , nothing about democrats being violent and how a surveyor feels/thinks. Otherwise this survey asked good valid questions.
I coincidentally selected politician A every time.
Not being able to go back to the previous question after seeing the new question. The new question made me reconsider my answer to the previous question.
What the hell is Joe Biden doing?? He is making law with his pen. During the election he said DICTATORS ruled by executive order. In 8 days he has done more than 40. In my mind he is acting like a dictator!
The section where we compared two candidates was interesting. It was much easier to decide which to vote for than I expected it to be.
This was a good survey and I hope that answers that were given give true feelings.
There were some questions about republicans inciting riots/violence and I responded this is never acceptable. There should have been the same question about democrats as this works both ways. Politicians need to be careful with rhetoric.
Why the prejudiced question about Republican political violence when the Democrat supported BLM and Antifa rioted all year long and you don't ask anything about their violence?
I am a Christian and I can NEVER vote for anyone that stands with the Democrat Party because they support and push for the killing of God's Children! The Democrat Party of 60 years ago was Respectful, God Fearing and Conservative! That Party has been dead for decades! The Democrat Party of today stands for the things that the Bible teaches against! It is led by Satan and they don't know it!
I'm happy that we're finally getting away from Trump and his nonsense.
No confusion. Very interesting questions
the USA is a republic not a democracy. I think the election rigged
I do not have any questions. But I do wanna say you should provide more paid surveys in a day ;)
'None of the above" should always be an option. This survey seems bias toward Republicans by inferring that they resorted to violence as a result of the election. The Democrats embraced the riots throughout the summer calling them peaceful protests. Someone in power in the house blocked capitol police in order to allow the riot that was known well in advance. Trumps speech had little to do with it.
Survey has been very clear, and very interesting.
Some of the questions seemed too vague or general to give a good answer. For example, the question about whether it’s ok for a Democrat to threaten or intimidate a Republican wasn’t clear about what type of threats. Threats of violence are not ok but threats of political retribution are probably ok.
The phrasing used in some of these questions seemed very biased. Why was theig no democrats listed in the question ? The phrasing in some of the questions imply some ideals as given truths which in reality they are not. I see the word democraticaly used repeatedly. Our goverment is a constitutional republic with Democratic principles but we are not a democracy. The questions are misleading when stated as democratically run or did. Also in the hypothetical voting for candidates the choices are very poorly suited. In truth I would not have voted for either. Yet I wasn't given that choice though I always have that choice in the ballot.
The survey was very bias against conservatives. Why not ask question how people feel about liberal policy and socialism, if the election was rigged to favor Biden, if there was China influence, democrat led protest burning down building, democrat led riot against the White House. 99% of violence in the USA are by democrats.
Very interesting survey! I really liked the question about holding Trump responsible or just moving on. It reminds me of Gerald Ford pardoning Richard Nixon back in the 70s. It was very unpopular at the time, but it really was the best thing to do. We'd still be arguing about it now. Personally, I'd like to see Trump answer the charges, but moving on is probably better in the long run.
I’m interested in how this information will be used. I’ve participated in numerous surveys that ask almost the same questions, about approving/disapproving, liberal/conservative, did you vote? Etc., but I’ve never seen or heard how this information was used. I suppose it might be used for news poll numbers, but I religiously watch the local and national news, and have never come across these exact same questions, even though we answer the same ones frequently.
Easy to understand. Kept me entertained.
Nothing that I can think of was confusing in any way.
I'm not entirely sure I understood the questions in the beginning, but I tried to answer them the best I understood.
The questions re: Carmen Lopez and Jenna Anderson were infusing that goes over 90% of the question included the exact same answer or choice of answers/topics.
I think the survey was a little on the bias side when it came to the questions. I believe that every person that is in the senate, house, and including the president and former president should be ashamed of the decisions they have made.
No confusion, just questions that are far left leaning and does not ask about violence from leftist criminals and the interference from domestic entities such as BLM and elitist who do not care about the people, such as live in the towers of academia who show NO WISDOM OR COMMON SENSE!!!!!
On one of the candidate questions both candidates were identical. Except one had a masculine name and the other had a feminine name. I choose the masculine candidate because I was forced to. If none/neither was an option I would of chosen that instead.
On some of my answers I would have answered between never and occasionally. No question on if I thought Democrats committed crimes during Trump's tenure. Public or elected officials should not tell Congress one thing in private but tell the news media the exact opposite in public. I refer to the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax. And why isn't Hillary not in jail?
There might have been questions to which I would have answered, “maybe,” “neither,” or “it depends.” But for the most part, this is an excellent survey - the kind I would like to participate in. I’m looking forward to reading the results
Needed a third choice for the candidate question
Kick taylor greene, boebert, cruz and holoway out of office. and convict trump!
Ill be honest I had to think about the secession one.
There are more political options for independents than leaning to the left or the right.
Sometimes it is impossible to answer survey questions honestly due to my response is not among the choices given. Like violence from one party to the other. I don't believe one should become violent. That should be illegal and arrests made, but feeling like someone is threating you. They either are or they are not, and the word feeling mean not fact. Can't help how people feel, I feel many things that are not necessary true in fact, just my feelings. Violence like what happened in Portland is fact not feeling. So sick of feelings being treated as facts.
I am so pleased to see the ideas in the questions being studied by competently educated people. Thank you!
Why did you ask questions about possible Republican violence and not about the in going and much more supportive attitude of Democrats about their violent supporters? Very biased.
One of the questions regarding who I would vote for had two candidates that had no differences other than their names. An Error or were you trying to get me to read something into the names? They both seemed latinx to me so if that was your goal, you failed, miserably
Very biased survey again. Why don't you just ask if Trump should be shot.
This was one of the most biased surveys I have taken. We are not a democracy we are a Democratic Republic. The Constitution was set up to try and keep people like the obamas. clintons. bidens, aocs, and colleges with loaded surveys in check. There is only one way to check them now and that is how we checked England in 1700's.
I had no problems and nothing was confusing.
I feel like the scenarios where someone objected to confirming the election but also called for impeachment were unrealistic. Same with people who support a big infrastructure plan but not Covid relief.
I love this page for the opportunity for gift
We would do our Country a great injustice to try and divide it. We would end up in wars amongst our neighbors and this Country would suffer as a nation. We need to find a way to learn how to give and take without violence and angst. People need to come together in stead of ripping us apart.
The best thing that could happen did-donald john trump is no longer president. But I di think he should be impeached andnot be allowed to run for pubic officeevery again. What he did to our nation is iconsousable an should not be forgotton
You should also ask questions about if it’s ok for Democrats to commit violence. Without being balanced in this line of questioning, you appear biased to Democrats.
We need to come together. Violence is never justified. Neither is censorship. And cancellation. Both sides are bad currently.
Just that I wish Bernie Sanders was the one being inaugurated last week and I will never stop trying to get actual progressives elected so we can actually have decent things
I would appreciate, if, YouGov would not send me another Pro-Republican survey because I'm a Democrat, and I think you know this. Thank you!
Your leaning left, your questions are not well thought out to get a tire picture
I did not find the survey confusing at all.I did not experience any problems.
The questions with A candidates was confusing to answer because there was only one per question
Technical problems. Found the survey skewed, not fair answers all the time
The current political system of the US is a laughing stock of the world, and the US is failing in every category, from education to infrastructure, innovation, geopolitical management etc.
Thanks for asking questions about Republicans sometimes committing violence and not just Dems.
Pres. Trump did not in any way incite a riot or insurrection. The Democrats praise ANTIFA and BLM but talk about conservatives who feel that some shady shit went on in this election as terrorists and criminals. It's purely political and hypocritical. The impeachment of Pres. Trump is totally unconstitutional and further shows the pure hatred they have for this man. We will not allow this country to be lead down a socialist path.
I am not sure the point of it. The election is over and for the most part we know the country is divided because of Donald Trump and his firm supporters will never leave his side, no matter how many surveys are done.
Democrats lie, cheat, and steal, and the spineless Republicans let them get away with it.
No problems encountered. Enjoyed the survey.
Many of the question were very one sided. I would not have voted for any of the people listed for running for President. The way they were described would have taken all of them off the list for a good person to represent the nation. I will only vote for conservatives who cares more for the people of this nation than the rest of the world. a person who knows how to keep us out of wars, one who supports the nations that are friendly toward us., has a knowledge of running a business and loves this country more than he loves himself.
The United States is a republic. That is the most important part of this democracy. You failed to mention that in your survey.
I left the Republican Party after the behavior of State and Congressional legislators following the 2020 election and the attempted insurrection.
Push poll. Especially about when it's OK for Republicans to demonstrate/protest. Like the dems never do. Not a serious poll. Especially given that there are many questions about the US being a democracy. There are still some of us who know that the US is a constitutional republic and not a complete democracy. Which is what the founders intended in the first place. Suspect that whoever commissioned this poll is reporting to a democratic think tank. Total bias.
Why didn't you ask if it was OK for democrats to commit violence if they don't like the outcome of elections like they did after Trump was elected? Why didn't you ask if it was OK for the media to refuse to cover legitimate stories of Biden, or if that should be considered election interference? Why didn't you ask if it is OK for BLM/Antifa to riot if police happen to kill someone? Very biased questioning in this survey.
asking about splitting the country but not splitting parties or ranked choice voting is narrow in scope
The survey was interesting, but I think there were better question methods for getting at the data you sought.
Interesting survey; both parties have gone fringe a good idea or policy offered by either party is summarily opposed by the other. No party has a lock on great ideas or policies. We truly need term limits in both the house and senate as career politicians are too stuck in their ways of not thinking only follow the party line.
Interesting survey...was framed in a way that encourages more "liberal" choices. I say that as a moderate conservative who chose many liberal options the way questions were framed here.
Some of the choices for candidates A or B, I wouldn’t have voted for either
The problem with this survey and with the population in general is we are NOT A DEMOCRACY. We are a republic. How can a person take your quiz seriously if you cant get that right?
The section regarding supporting candidates did not seem credible because the candidates seem to hold inconsistent positions.
Why were there questions about violence perpetrated by Republicans on Democrats but no questions about violence perpetrated by Democrats on Republicans? I think you need to check your bias.
I do not want socialism in this country. We are a democratic republic and should stay that way. Get term limits for the house and senate!!
Good survey, would like more like this one.
I did not particularly liked the questions for the republican candidates. I feel that the candidates that allowed the former president to govern like a despot. Should have to understand how bad and wrong this position was to our nation.
great survey, it was innovating, inspiring, aspirational and gregarious
the questions about republicans ONLY being violent were offensive and biased and completely uncalled for .... violent behavior has been displayed on both parties and if anything leans towards democrats .... if you want a study find a library and look up the word impartial
The whole process has been clear enough, I want to emphasize that I have years with YouGov and I always spend the time necessary to respond to each survey with professionalism, ethics and integrity, I have always asked them to send me more frequently, but I do not know what happens, I am willing to express my opinion
I am so very tired of politics, but recognize my privilege that allows me to not engage with politics for the most part.
who administers, if media CNN,CBS,ABC,NBC is behind it , this has no credence at all. I hope that this is sincere but I am highly doubtful.
If Arizona was going to secede I would rather it be with Texas instead of a bunch of blue states.
have an issue with one of the questions when it suggested that we have a "democracy", and there was no right way to answer without agreeing to that premise. The US is NOT a Democracy; our Founders warned against democracy. Democracy is mob rule without representative vote. The question was ambiguous and its premise incorrect, thereby skewing the entire survey.
The first who would you vote for ? I read 4 times to be sure no differentiation between them. Decided was just based on name difference. If I am wrong about that then the ? was really confusing.
Many questions were biased. But is the NEW reality today.
We are supposed to have a Republic form of Government. The government in D.C. is a special and self interest governing body that thrives on division and divisive issues to keep themselves in power and money. Both so-called political parties are guilty.
This was clearly leaning LEFT. You were trying to get us to pick the WHITE guy based on names instead of the more "ethnic" names when all the choices were exactly the same. It was impossible to make a choice w/o more information.
my opinion for what it's worth is that those questions were very biased (elites vs common folk!)
This clearly has a left leaning bias and I am not at all interested in the results. I would very much be interested to know the results of an unbiased survey.
I like this questionnaire's transparency. However, I see a deep problem regarding political violence, which unless you're a pacifist is in my view sometimes justified. This country's existence is the result of successful armed struggle in a war of national liberation. Italian partisans captured and killed Mussolini. The French Revolution was a "good thing."
The questions involving the candidates running for office was misleading. The only thing that was different between the first pair was their name. Not enough information was given to pick the best candidate. But that is the point right? You will conclude that Republicans are raciest by picking the candidates not by what they stand for but by picking the person with right sounding name. There should have been a option of not enough information to pick the right candidate.
Not confusing at all considering the schools putting this survey out. Slanted to get the answers you want.
I thoroughly enjoyed this thought provoking survey. I hope to get more like this in the future.
Some of the choices in who you would vote for I could see no differences between the two. You needed a neither choice.
I think a lot of YouGov surveys seem to be biased against conservatives.
No problems with the survey. Questions were clear, fair, and seemed unbiased.
Yes I do, you asked if it is alright for Republicans to do violence , what about the demos who did do that and and oppose everything President Trump did while he was in office. That was horrible and made it hard for America you go forward. I hope the Republicans do the same to Biden and lets see how the corrupt news media handles that.
More light needs to be shined on the issue of unethical gerrymandering which has translated into the inability of voting out republicans in almost every state they hold power in.
The questions regarding Candidate A or B needed a “neither/not sure” option.
This seemed to be heavily biased in its questions towards Democrats. Case in point, al questions pointed towards Republicans and none towards Democrats in one section/
Trump won 2020. Facts showed this, very clearly.
The response options for this question: "We sometimes find people don't always take surveys seriously, instead providing humorous or insincere responses to questions. How often do you do this? " are not adequate. I would offer that if the question is vague, confusing, or poorly designed the recipient should provide a humorous and/or insincere response.
"When, if ever, is it OK for an ordinary Republican in the public to harass an ordinary Democrat on the Internet, in a way that makes the target feel unsafe?" Is a false dichotomy. It's never ok to harass people, but neither is the relevant standard for harassment "felt unsafe", that's an incentive to deliberately assume bad faith in order to censor opposing views. The correct standard is a neutral 3rd party "Reasonable Person" assessment of whether the conduct qualified as harassment. Likewise, the questions about violence omits such morally relevant factors as timing, scope, and who initiated. I don't think it's ever acceptable for Republicans to initiate violence, but I fully support self-defense and the defense of others (e. g. If Antifa/BLM rioters attack a person on the street or their property, others are fully justified in fighting back to protect that person and their property). Self-defense is "always" justified. OTOH, I don't at all support revenge violence. Even if attacked, self-defense doesn't justify starting a new fight at a different time or against different people. Revenge is "never" justified. Your wording doesn't provide the necessary details to differentiate between those scenarios.
trump NEED BE in jail. if someome else did what he did ( taxs fraud lies misuse fund ) we be in jail. why is he ANY differ from other.
The section on candidates seems to be structured to pull out the idea for Trump Impeachment. The issue to me is mute as he is no longer in office and therefore not at sitting president. But you included it in the candidate make-up so I responded accordinly
a couple of the questions were a bit confusing.. not quite sure if the answer chosen, was what I meant it to be. This country is going in the wrong direction entirely! Democrats/ Biden are turning this country into a socialist, communist country. It has to stop.
The question about violence in response to violence was missing the choice about acting in self defense. Acting in self defense is always justified, which is why I responded "occasionally".
One of your questions, asked about experts or government making decisions. You don't seem to allow for the possibility that the government may use experts in making their decisions. The government can and does make decisions based on the competence of the individual in charge. Some may be experts in their field and some may be idiots appointed by an incompetent president.
The only question that I had a problem with was the one asking my opinion about how Joe Biden is doing his job as president. Frankly, it's still too soon to make any realistic decisions about it.
Trump was such a disappointment, not too big on Biden, he should have run in 2016
No i don't have any comments at this moment.
Very interesting. I am currently applying for citizenship and this is right in my area at the moment.
The republican party has been using fear tactics for a long time and I believe they want to rule this country with one party. They act like people that if you gave them a drink with poison and tell them it is a drinkable vaccine they would drink it and that includes the politicians.
I don't necessarily think the Electoral College is the problem, but am not oppose to the popular vote deciding the election. . I think THE PROBLEM IS THE PRIMARY SYSTEM, start with the states with the smallest populations, fewest electoral votes for the early primaries and finish with the states with the biggest populations most electoral votes. No caucuses, no super delegates, etc... . 1st primary 8 states (24): Alaska (3), Delaware (3), District of Columbia (3), Montana (3), North Dakota (3), South Dakota (3), Vermont (3) and Wyoming (3). All represent very different geographic/demographic areas of the country. . Last primary 4 states (151): Florida (29), New York (29), Texas (38) and California (55). All four represent very different geographic/demographic areas of the country . That makes the states with a "few" electoral votes significant in the beginning to narrow the field and states with the "most" electoral votes FL, NY, TX & CA significant at the end. .
Some of the answer choices were limited. Is Biden doing a good job? He’s been in office less than a month - his performance can’t be judged. As far as unity goes - If politicians were sincere about unity they would drop all proceedings against Trump and Trump supporters (except the rioters). They would invite people from the “other side” to voice their opinions and even incorporate some of their ideas. They would prosecute and condemn all rioting and insurrection - not just the capital rioters.
Another survey where all of the questions are bias against Republicans. Not one of the questions were about all of the crap that the Democrats pulled for four years. No antifa questions, who are aligned with Democrats. The lying media, whops forgot about them didn't you. The list goes on, the supposed smartest are by far the dumbest.
why were two candidates the exact same besides name? I had to choose at random which doesn't provide sincere answers.
Distilling down these complex issues to "yes/no" questions is very difficult if not impossible. This causes less than accurate results as, at least in my case, there were severe compromises made to fit my answers into your response choices.
you guys always miss the big picture, Trump has a bad personality but did good things for the country, Biden killed the keystone pipeline, And for what? The oil will be moved less efficiently jobs are gone. It is the same with immigration, The Paris climate thing is just another way for others to take our money. They just now figured out that where the plates meet under the ocean that there is a lot of heat warming the water. There is no money to be made on what we can not control so just keep pushing man is causing global warming. they have no idea. i noticed no questions on Antifa and the lefts violence all year, Typical left wing poll
The A B candidate question was Flawed because there are so many more issues than just the narrow issues presented and impeach is one thing but convict and remove as part of that and it didn’t dress that either.
I find surveys that present obviously skewed, grossly oversimplified scenarios to be useless wastes of resources. For instance, secession is not as simple as assuming that these several geographically similar states CITIZENS are ALL in favor of secession, as the. Recent presidential election illustrated in the wide division of popular vote. We are mobile now, & geography does not bind us. I now live in Tennessee for the weather, but was born & raised I. The Midwest & you can bet I don’t want to move but surely don’t want secession. These questions also totally ignore issues like how these states can even survive without federal support for infrastructure, welfare, FEMA funds, prisons, military, currency, the list goes on. Generations would go by before a seceded country would be as safe, secure & financial viable as the US is now, however imperfectly it reflects all our values and ideals. There is too much beneath these questions and those about the candidates that make them almost laughable to answer as presented.
so is this where you sell my answers to the new administration as a terrorist supporter? What the hell have we become?
There is a difference between a Republic (Which the USA is), and a Democracy (survey stated).
Failure to include libertarianism or classical liberalism as an option could significantly reduce the significance of the results.
Very biased. And we do not live in a democracy, we are a constitutional republic.
You should be asking if left leaning group should get away with their criminal rioting. blm and antifa for example. Should democrats get away with inciting violence. Maxine waters, cory booker, and kamala harris raising money for bailing out criminal rioters etc?
We have a Representative Republican form of Government. As soon as we destroy the idea of a socialist democrat form of govt. We will win.
Why questions about Republicans being violent when it’s Democrats who create more violence than Republicans. Antifa, Democrats, are still violent and not a word.
I enjoy these surveys about things that matter. Our Democracy still hangs by a thread. Social Media has destroyed our ability to have a common set of facts
Having experts make decisions sounds good but in America the experts would be appointed by corporate hacks whose decisions would still be based on Corporatia’s (corporate interests) bottom line. Look at the FDA.
Did Trump commit crimes should have an I do not know option
The question asking if it is ever justified for Democrats to use violence or threaten violence was incredibly biased. Why don’t you ask the same of Republicans? It came off as you implying this is something Democrats do and not asking about Republicans makes it seem like they don’t do it. Tainted the objectivity of the entire survey.
No problems. Just a couple of questions should have a none of the above answer available.
I'm glad the Sponsor of this survey is interested in the beliefs, thoughts, and stances of our country and democratic system.
I answered one wrong and couldn't go back to change
Why were there questions about Democrats threatening Republicans? I'm seeing a lot of that these days. To name a few.... Maxine Waters, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Why are these questions biased against Republicans. Where are questions about Antifa? Your next question will probably be about white supremacy.
It’s a bit biased in your questions. You seem to vilify Republicans. You ask leading biased questions about republicans but not democrats. You need to be more fair.
Thank you for alphabetizong the race options!
Democrats have become Communists and traitors to this country! Joe Biden and his family are Chinese paid puppets!
I do not feel like I am a Republican or a Democrat or Conservative-Liberal and those choices make me hold my nose a pick.
You should have allowed a 'neither' for the question on choosing which candidate to support. The second and third choices - I never would have voted/supported either of them.
Questions were fine but format is not mobile friendly.
My impression is that the Democrats have been harassing the Republicans all along and accusing them of illegalities throughout the election cycle. Most of this has come via the news which is totally lost any sense of morality. Now that they have eliminated President Trump, they are going after Hawley and Greene for nothing except to take the spotlight off of Biden. Ridiculous!
This survey was excellent. Would like to see the same type of survey referencing Biden four years from now.
Not sure why there were more questions on Republicans fighting then Democrats, they have been doing it all summer and for the last 5 years over President Trump winning
I enjoyed the survey. I’d like to see a survey asking how to bring more bipartisanship into government. It should also be sent to all members of Congress.
surveys are nice but, they don't seem to help America's problems!
The USA is not a democracy but a Republic so I answered these questions accordingly.
It was one of the more important surveys this site has sponsored. And considering the name of this site, this type should be done a lot more often.
I found the survey biased against Republicans. You had a series of questions about Republicans and violence. You completely ignored the violence of the Democrats and their proxies over the last four years. You and the media have turned a blind eye to violence by democrats.
Yeah, on one of the questions to pick between 2 candidates, the two candidates were exactly the same except for name. There should be a no preference option.
Great survey, thank you for presenting this to us. Have a great day and good luck in your studies!
I thought the questions about Republicans and democrats were not impartial. It seems to have a bias toward democrats good republic and bad. Basically the same questions should have been done for both parties or more of a scale with both parties getting similar options.
You asked for my Zip Code then you asked for my State. Why? Your questions about violence were skewed toward Republicans.
Trump Lost thank goodness. Now on to bigger and better things
Please stop referring to the USA as a democracy, this country is a republic. The two are very different.
many of the questions were skewed toward supporting the democrat candidate. questions were not asked in an impartial or balanced format.
I'm not into politics at all so some questions were a little confusing.
questions seem a bit bias. Its like '' boots on the ground?- or bomb them to death with drones?'' how about neither?!? are we so far from reality everything is now yes or no? black or white?
I don't think there is a sufficiently nuanced or commonly understood definition of democratic. I think it compromises your ability to draw conclusions from this data.
Why you only asked if Democrats did something bad to republicans,what about what republicans did to the capital and riots?
This survey was fascinating and really made me think about what I considered democracy to be.
I think the questions is quite straight forward and easy to understand
The United States is not a democracy, It never has been. You would think University professors would know that. But you'd be wrong.
Why not ask more question on why one may think the way they do? Ask more questions on how the corrupt American media has failed to support the Constitution of the Unites States by participating in the political process in a bias untruthful and misleading way?
A couple of times it seemed to freeze and I had to refresh page in order to continue.
Asking questions that need further clarification for the choices being made. Should the legislature be able to remove the governors powers! Look at GOP controlled AZ legislature they want to pass a law to override the voters and determine who wins an election. Look at GOP NC legislature in 2016 with an incoming Dem Gov stripped power from the Dem governor. Same happened in WI. Look at Texas wanting to basically stop voting in the state. On another subject.. why didn't trump question ES&S voting systems? He won in 40 states with their systems. One of his former HHS supporters is head of security for ES&S. Paperless machines and very strange vote totals in many counties with paperless voting. Counties that never voted GOP did in 2020. Tx border counties suing trump for land grabs voted 80% for him. 80-100% of every new vote cast in 2020 was for trump over the 2016 totals even though Texas Dems registered several million voters. MAIL BALLOTS and ABSENTEE VOTING SAVED DEMOCRACY this time around. SC KY, TX Maine all had strange voting totals in many counties, because republicans won no one questioned these machines. The GOP attack on the Dominican voting system was a diversion to not look at other voting systems.In 2018 there's evidence of votes being changed when a voter selected the box for an entire dem ticket. It flipped the choice within the vote from Beto O'Rourke to Cruz. Texas admitted knowing of the problem several days into early voting. Maybe Cruz didnt win! Trump rigged the election and was angry when it didn't work. He had all the rallies with bussed in crowds to show big support so when he won it would be less suspicious. His approval rating was never high enough especially with covid to get 74 million people to voted for him!
This survey was biased and highly ambiguous having some innuendo spread throughout The United States has a dual streamline. One streamline is the Constitutional Framework having strict and liberal interpretations. The other streamline is the political culture having principally a conservative and liberal variant. Most of the questions leaned towards liberal interpretations and a liberal variant. The results will clearly be eschewed wrongfully to favor the left. Civil disobedience is a legitimate form of rebellion when governments and cultures are over the top. Rosa Park's peaceful act of civil disobedience refusing to give up her seat was met with arrest. The violence is most often on the side that is unjust or wrong and imposing. We see this today with Antifa and the riots they cause. The optics often in politics is not the truth of what is going on. The US has a wolf in lambs clothing. The 10th complaint in the US Declaration of Independence is alive and well as demonstrated by the COVID event. Even John Adams remarked that the bands of the Constitution would be broken by Gallantry. In the case of COVID, they were saving lives, or was the natural cycling of the virus attributed to human efforts? In any case, the administrative state, officers and agents, imposed public policy through unwilling surrogates of commerce and industry like a Montgomery bus line. What would happen if a modern Rosa Parks peacefully refused to comply with a Kamala-san Dynasty edict? Would she be arrested, fined, or jailed? Would there be riots by sympathizers? Or would the riots be a stage show by some subversive group posing as sympathizers? Your survey questions were superficial and myopic.
we need to come together as one nation not party versus party today most politicians have a private agenda for themselves not what is good for our country
FYI The United States is not a Democracy, We are a Constitutional Republic
I liked the comparison and choosing which is better, I see how it changes based on the topics presented in each table.
Besides "liberal" and "conservative," you should add "libertarian" as a political philosophy, as it is completely different from the others.
No, thank you. It was very user friendly
No problems or issues and I thought this was a very good survey.
Some of the wording was confusing and could have required more context. For instance, in the question about whether you would want to have a group of experts make decisions for the country rather than a government. Does that mean that the experts are appointed? Are they elected? Is there a way to repeal them from their position? I assume not, but I don't know for sure.
My responses to questions about when violence is okay were based on the assumption the stated actions/elections were fair and honest. If a political party or person took political office through illegal means or took away significant civil rights, I may change my opinion. I am very anti-violence but the recent attempt by Donald Trump to steal the election in his favor scared me.
Showed a bit of bias in some of the questions seemed to frame Republicans as possible sources of potential political violence, while excluding Democrats.
I don't know anything at all about politics really. It's all confusing to me, so I just follow the basic news..
You asked if I thought it was ever acceptable for Republicans to act violently. You did not ask me if it is acceptable for Democrats to act violently. I do not think it is ever okay for any political party to act violently. Why did you only ask about Republicans committing violence and you did not ask about Democrats?
Yes. My answers of "not sure" are because they would need detailed answers but I feel that at this time our country is on a slippery slope to Socialism and a lot people do not really understand the danger. And as far as my state it is mostly Democratic .I was raised as a Democrat and could not remain registered as one because of the behavior of it's current leaders.
The made-up candidates to approve/disapprove I would have rejected all of them, however that was not an option. It was like asking if I wanted to get shot and die or set on fire to die. Both ideas suck, and the outcome the same....bad.
I think there should always be a “None of the above” choice
I am Glad that trump Lost now we need to move on thanks
I like these types of surveys and believe that they are important. It scares me what is happening to our country and I hope we can get it together.
You mentioned supporting a new country of California et al; I would suggest this should be done within he context of the United States. Perhaps have 3-4 confederacies of states that operate under the United States, with the US Government only concerned about Defense and Trade
I am 80 years old. As a young woman I was a market research field interviewer. I know and appreciate the importance of these surveys. I am well informed and take the fate of my country very seriously. Hope this helps.
asking about our government today can not really be answered. I answered some of those questions as if Trump was in office as Biden has been there only a little over a week. The congress is still answering to Trump and fighting Biden.
Brainwashing the public into thinking Biden won the election does not make him the legitimate president.
Your poll seemed very biased. Like you tried protecting Biden being damaged by the truth
When presenting me with the “between two candidates” section you insisted I pick one, however, at times I didn’t like either candidate and that should have been an option for me. I have the right not to vote
The only problem I had with this survey is how bias is is.
This country needs to divorce for the sake of the children.
Listing the names of different Republicans and their platforms----very confusing. God made "man" and "woman"-----HE DID NOT MAKE 'SOME THING ELSE'----OR 'SOME ONE ELSE'.
Feel free to contact me about this survey and my responses howardinytown@gmail.com
I thought the survey was biased. In the section asked on violence there were numerous questions about Republicans causing violence and only one on democrats and violence. No mention of all the violence and burning of business and attacks on our police that took place over months by the liberal democrats.
I feel the very first question was poorly worded. I read it more than once and finally read it aloud before answering. All other questions were ok. For the record: I feel my responses to all YouGov surveys are important. I feel that those asking the questions do not need disinterested or disruptive folks taking their surveys. I do not get paid much, but I do get paid to take the surveys. Therefore, I feel I am a professional survey taker. As such, I should always do my best to pay attention and respond truthfully. Also, I like that my opinion matters. I follow news and current events with a passion and I feel that helps me respond to those types of questions.
The emphasis on Republican violence in response to Democrat actions shows clear bias in the survey. Responses were disingenuous as a result of this hate bias.
Hopefully this survey asked those that identify as Democrats were asked the questions about violence with the word Democrat replacing Republican
Based on the questions, the survey appears to be very anti-republican. Everything seems to be a criticism of conservative beliefs. What I don't know is if I had picked an independent with a Democrat leaning would the questions have been different and more biased against Democrats. If so, then it should be made clearer that the questions received are intended to gather information on the party you selected. If not, then there is a strong bias built into the survey.
I didn't have any problems nor found anything confusing about this survey.
its interesting I hate how the republicans are not playing fair and not going against trump its like its a big cult.
This survey was somewhat bias, like only conservatives can be violent and hateful.
Why are almost all questionnaires liberally biased?
Trump did more for my black community than Biden did in 47 yrs.
this survey was bios and favoring liberal viewpoint . I voted for Trump because he was the less of two evils.
The section on comparing two different politicians was framed poorly and resulted in some confusion.
I did not have problems, just curious as to why anyone would want a President like Trump who allowed (meaning he did not say the word STOP) when his supporters were rioting. And then tweet or go to any microphone and say (This is not what I want). If he, Trump, had any backbone all, he would not have allowed all those hours of rioting to continue killing and maiming.
Your a little bias with questions only about violence regarding Republicans and no questions about the violence caused by Democrats and their allies as we saw all this past summer and fall.
This survey was easy to complete, no glitches or problems.
Concern that a set of questions imply republicans in general are prone to violence or may support violence. There are extremists on both sides and i hate them both. your questions should be more neutral.
You need to have a Not Sure selection on your Candidate A or B selections.
Unsure if you guys realize it or not, but the democrats supported political violence for most of 2020 (i.e. Antifa looting and rioting in major cities, etc.) and not a peep out of the Democrats and media. Again, just like a survey I took a few months ago, I am only asked about Republican violence against Democrats. The level of bias in this survey is obnoxious. But I’ll take the points offered for answering this garbage.
THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE SHOULD BE CLOSED. ALL VOTERS NEED TO SHOW IDENTIFICATION WHEN VOTING.
I would say that the conservative-liberal spectrum is limiting. It seems that you are using liberal to mean leftist, and those are very different political philosophies/stances. I'm a leftist, not a liberal.
Why there are always Donald Trump questions, every survey has them
The 1st question about electoral boundaries was confusing.
This was this most interesting survey you have sent me to date.
Perhaps it would be useful to ask whether a survey respondent ever had a civic class in primary or secondary school--or post secondary for that matter. I spent my formative years in other states, where I valued my education, in a region that spent more per student than does the southern district. It appears that type of standard class is not typical here.
I had trouble with the examples you gave in choosing between two candidates. The responses were one or the other, but I think it should have had a third choice of neither one. Overall I found the survey to be very interesting.
Biased, should give an option of neither.
Instead of fighting between left and right they have to concentrate on people job security and creating jobs and economy
why was the questions of violence only geared toward republicans when the the the antifa crowd and blm which support the democrats burned and looted cities using excuses of blacks being killed by police you also forgot to ask about biden breaking the law he sat on stage and admitted a clear case of extortion when he forced the country to fire a prosecutor or they wouldn't get the billion dollars so they fired the prosecutor oh and the ties he has with his son hunter and the funny money from china
No problems. A little left leaning, some comments about do you approve or disapprove of the number of executive orders President Joe Biden has issued since being sworn in would have brought this survey dead center, and thereby appeal to a wider base as a statistic.
Yes. The survey stated two candidates. However, there was only one candidate. Why ?
I guess for some this election was again chose between two evils so if you made another survey have some questions that would relate to my previous statement.
You asked about republicans threatening democrats, but what about when the democrats are the ones inciting violence and threatening conservatives? There have been several instances where democrats have incouraged violence toward Republicans, all summer long.
This is a good quality survey about government. This is the type of surveys that YouGov should be having instead of what is popular on TV.
Interesting way of establishing a position on the political spectrum
The questions asking if Republicans should be allowed to harass Democrats in any way should be flipped to also include whether or not Democrats should be allowed to harass Republicans.
Leftist activists will cull the results to fit their narrative.
Do you not understand the difference between a democracy and a republic? One protects the minority and the other allows the despotism of the majority. the protection for the minority and the sanctity of private property are the things which separate the US from all the would-be citizen owned political systems in the world.
Why didn’t you ask about violent republicans? They’re more violent.
This survey was very biased against Republicans, conservatives and President Trump.
There were no issues, this was a good survey, and thanks for the opportunity!
(1) thanks for conducting the survey, and for providing a place for comments. There is probably no place in your research that you can use this kind of feedback, but i think it gives participants a little more satisfaction --- me, anyway! :) :) (2) some of the questions could have used a "don't know", or "not sure". Specifically the question about responding to violence with violence: i think every person has an absolute right to self-defense, but this does not extend to revenge. So i did not really know how to answer that question. (3) Good luck, and i hope your research is fruitful and leads to an interesting publication.
If I could have a government that’s Democratic but is somewhat limited to experts that would be the best mix. So if there was some sort of competency test that people could take before they run for office or are in a government position that would be perfect.
I found some of the questions a bit Biased.
What was the point of the question between the two candidates? They were exactly the same.
Questions 1 and 3 are written too vaguely where it's not clear if the question is referring to democratic principles in an absolutist sense or more nuanced like that which is found in reality.
I am a naturalized US citizen who grew up in NYC. IN NYC, we all knew what a shit show, unethical piece of white supremacist trash DT always was. He has given free rein to the ugly undercurrent of American life. No matter a Black or non-white person´s accomplishments, we all know if we step out into the ugly white hinterlands, the ignorant supremacists are always there. Sometimes their last name is Koch. We cannot let armed militias threaten our lawfully elected representatives. These people (including DT, who has no morals, no love of country) must be stopped. We must have free, fair, accessible elections. And no, people with known mental problems should not hold weapons. I cannot believe we are even having some of these conversations.
The next to last question was to vote for electors was it not?
I thought that you were more partial to the democrats than republicans in this survey, I have watched the democrats support riots as cities were burned and looted and nothing was done, one incident, one, of a bad act on 1/6/21 by a very few and everyone labeled all conservatives as racist insurrectionists, the democrats have lied for 51/2 years as their hatred for a duly elected president took precedence over representing their constituents and dividing this country like never before, their visceral hatred of Trump has been more important than actually doing their job and legislating, and they think that everyday people are too stupid and blind and we don't see, we see, we're not blind sheep, the founding fathers did not intend for politicians to be lifetime politicians, or for them to get rich off of our backs and sweat and rule as an elite class. and you people need to be impartial instead of asking questions that favor one side or the other because that makes you part of the problem as well
Sometimes, the survey answers don't get submitted.
There was something wrong with the election. I do not support voting by mail My husband has been dead ten years. I still receive a ballot for him even though I moved two years ago. I also got a ballot for son and daughter. They have been gone ten years and six years respectively. It's too easy to cheat. I shredded the ballots, but how many did that? Probably not many.
We don't need the US Senate, Donald John Trump must be arrested, charged, and tried. If found guilty he should go to prison. No one is above the law, no one is too big to fail.
Yes Please send more today I really enjoy them
I liked the survey. I thought it was cool and informative.
Biden is a complete useless idiot who is destroying our country. Trump won the election by a landslide. These states need to find the fraud and declare the true president.
This survey was extremely written with a strong bias. The political agenda was very evident! And based on how the questions were written, I’m 98% sure that my responses will be discarded or changed because they do not fit with the heavily liberal bias that is very evident in this survey! And trust me, I know how to use “stats” to say what I need them to say and that is exactly what the intent of this survey is.
No problems. However, this country was never a democracy, it is a democratic republic. These days most people don't know the difference.
You keep calling our country a "democracy" or "democratic" when in fact it's a "REPUBLIC". In a "republic", the rights of individuals can not be overthrown for the rights of the majority. In a "democracy", the rights are for the majority and the rights of individuals can be overthrown.
Well I didn't understand why you asked whom I voted for. I thought this was a personal and private matter
Thank you for letting me take the survey Larry
I don't always like the way the survey questions read. I feel locked into making a choice because it wasn't the best choice but only one I got that was close to my thoughts.
I had the underlying feeling that it was somewhat biased to the left. It did not ask many questions about the tactics used by the left to influence elections such as last minute changing of rules and voting techniques.
Your survey did not allow for a third option with the candidates, that of neither I would most likely not vote for either candidate but you did not allow for that option. There for you survey was designed to solicit a specific answer based on bias,
Some of the answer should have had a "not sure" or "don't know" option
So I skipped most if not all of the candidate A vs. Candidate B questions initially because I didn't realize that the questions/candidate names were changing and secondly because the questions of providing support to appropriate infrastructure projects and help to small businesses is something I support. I also support certifying President Biden's election. I don't support impeaching former President Trump. Even if it is warranted, and I haven't seen evidence so far that it is, it will only further divide the country.
Extremely biased with predictable narrative as a premise for the questions. For example, you question violence by Republicans towards Democrats but never the other way around. You talk about a country run democratically but we are run by The US Constitution. We are a Constitutional Republic.
No problems just feel country need a lot more dialog within lot less angry outburst
Well done survey. In depth probing questions that actually make a person think about which answer is more appropriate.
A couple of questions were just idiotic. Those questions make me want to answer with sarcastic answers.
Comparing the A vs B candidate questions should be deleted. The rest of the survey was fine.
On the choices of candidate A and B, I would not support any of them, therefore that section should be void. Also why are you only asking about what democrats do? It's wrong for the republicans to do the same thing. Party is irrelevant to whether or not violence or attack is allowable. In every circumstance, it is NOT.
Aspects of this survey seemed rather biased, especially when asking me to choose between two candidates. Most of the time, I felt equally about both of the choices offered, but was forced to choose one over the other. In an effort to remain consistent, I chose the female candidate each time because I am convinced that’s what you wanted to hear.
i think questions in beginning of survey were not very good answers or maybe not have to answer the question at all would have been better option.
Every other western nation on earth is handling this pandemic better than america the richest country on the planet that cannot even help its own people during a deadly pandemic america is a failure and does not represent the american people.
It was very clear, easy to understand, and interesting.
Although I live in the red stripe of shame I would move east or west for the promise of better governance.
This was without a doubt the most one-sided conservative hating I have ever taken
very interesting survey that is right on time for personal thoughts
I did not see a section asking questions about Democrats using violence or threatening Republicans, or Democrats using violence (as they have) to swing elections, or Democrats harassing and even censoring Republicans online, as they have done. Where is this section? Your questions have a very clear bias.
Just find it strange that YouGov is biased only towards democratic party ? Other than that site is ok thanks for allowing for my opinions.
Very slanted questions about Republican violence and not much on Democrat violence.
The questions regarding the fictional characters up for election should have a third choice (neither or someone else)
I wanted to bring one thing to your attention. The area that says "black or African American"... Tell me why it only says "white" and not "white or European American "? That is ONE step to changing. White people dont OWN America. They stole the land, and that part is very bias. Call them what they are please. EUROPEAN AMERICAN. If black Americans can't fully be Americans then white European descendents are the same. Thank you.
Anyone who believes Joe Biden should be President, even after he admitted to voter fraud for Obama's second term, as well as his election needs to see the truth, and allow for his removal from Office!
Seems bias for hiden and the crookacrats
This survey was far more interesting and pertinent than most.
We are not a democracy, we are a constitutional republic 😉. Apparently there are to many people who don't actually know what type of government they live in. We the people are supposed to be in charge of our Government and not the other way around. Our Bill of Rights is designed to protect us against our government having tyranny against it's people. We need term limits on our congress. We need to get rid of crooks like Nancy and Chuck.
Everything was clear. No problems at all.
It's never ok to disrespect survey content. This is where 'silliness' can sometimes be permissible though ... the final comments section, yes?! Thank you. >^..^<
Please be carefull with this type of survey. The United States is not a democracy, it is a Constituional Republic....they are not interchangeable.
I take surveys seriously and hope others will. How else do people working and having a family to take care of. I'm retired and have more time to follow issues and look beyond headlines, an advantage for me.
I want the media to hold Joe Biden to the same impeachment opportunity that President Trump experienced. I Believe Biden has far more skeletons in his closet for crimes he committed as acting VP.
It would have been nice if all the questions had a “not sure” response option
There is clear bias in this survey regarding the ‘justification’ of violence Dems vs Reps. Also the term ‘democratic’ is not well defined in the questions and why is the word republic or democratic-republic not included. Is it lower case ‘democratic’ meaning determined by elections or complete Democracy where majority rule offers no protections for the minority voice? These are important distinctions for your silly survey. Also, why is ‘neither candidate’ not an option if we would choose to write in a different candidate’s name or sit out the election when offered to choose between to communist assholes with generic Hispanic (-ez) last names? And how do you define ‘experts’ when asking about their authority to make policy decisions over free and fairly (assumed) elected government officials? Your questions are poorly thought out and likely intended for the uneducated masses of mouth breathers infesting the cuntry.
There are other political belief systems than republican or Democrat, and other candidates besides Biden and Trump. Your survey showed clear bias
I must add that the questions asking if I would vote for Republican candidate A or B, it is because of the absurd, and dangerous behavior that Republicans practiced with Donald Trump as presidont I will never again vote for a Republican! My November ballot had several areas where only one person was running and they were Republican. I protested by leaving it blank regardless of their inevitable win, they will never get my vote again!
The beginning questions were a tad bit technical for me...
I think this survey is written in the classic bias I have been seeing on YouGov
Very biased, especially in the Republican vs. Democrat questions
I have no issues. I understood everything.
No comments. Pretty easy to understand and answer.
Democratic socialist party survey. Soon we will not be able to express our opinions.
You forgot to ask whether it was wrong for the Democrats to harass Trump and the Republicans for four straight years with fake riots etc. You are very liberal biased
Yes, I object to you calling our country a democracy when we are actually a constitutional republic whereby the people popularly elect representatives to serve our country. We have got to stop ruling by majority rule all the time bc sometimes the majority votes for very bad or very stupid things. We need to return to being a more constitutionally governed nation. We are becoming a nation run by authoritarians. Joe Biden signed over 30 executive orders in his first weeks as president- that is an authoritarian who is not willing to use the proper branched of govt to make sure the country makes good decisions. He holds the record of just doing what he thinks is best as opposed to having the ideas vetted and discussed by the Congress who is supposed to make the laws. We have turned a corner into a dark place in this country by allowing him to just executive order things the way HE thinks they should be.
I find it absolutely disgusting that you focus on asking questions about violence from the right while completely ignoring the same types of questions about the left. The left has been incredibly violent and destructive. Until you recognize that truth, you reveal your bias and insult our intelligence. Also, you provided no "candidate B" options on the candidate comparison question. So those are all invalid.
Very biased. Also, we live in a Republic.
Questions about how the government is working should be split along party lines. I feel Republicans are doing what's best for the county, except Mitt Romney. I fell Democrats are doing everything they can to turn this into a socialist country that is bound to fail.
My choice for house member was pretty much biased for the left trying to get an answer from me that can be used out of context.
Slightly biased - the questions about when is it ok to be violent
This survey was biased. It leaned too much to the Democratic Party. Donal Trump was the winner in 2020. I will never vote again because it’s fixed. No point in voting.
The first question set was oddly worded or I'd simply not before encountered questions asked that way. I would take a look at the first couple questions in that question set and ask what the goal was and if their structure met that purpose.
When it came to choosing between canadate A or canadate B it took me a min to figure out how to be able to see canadate B screen.
It was good with some questions being thought provoking. Would love to see the results.
For the second set of candidates, they had the treated all issues the same. If this was some test to see if I would support someone based on their name alone, shame on you
When the question of who would I support. Both being Republicans the choices either A. or B. There should of been a C. NONE OF THE ABOVE. To have to pick one when clearly I could careless what they stand for. I only answered because I had to. In reality I would never choose a Republican. Even if they were running against a Democrat that was a monkey. I still would support the Democrat. Or no one at all. Shouldn't try to have a Democrat pick when there isn't a choice but a force to pick. It's not what we choose, it's what we are told to choose. Weather we like it or not.
I had no problems with the survey. The questions seemed to be well worded and easily understood.
where on the scale do I stand on the question of too much government or not enough?
You asked if Trump committed crimes. I commit crimes. You commit crimes. Everybody commits crimes. Question should be more specific.
Joe Biden is a joke. All he knows how to do is sign executive orders. He doesn’t know how to lead a country. He’s a criminal and only won by fraud. He will never be legitimate because the democrats won’t honestly audit the election.
I am currently registerad as a republican, and probably won't change my registration but I certainly can't say I identify with the party.
Y’all asked a lot of questions regarding a democracy. But we’re a democratic republic, so all of those questions are a little tainted. We don’t govern by 51% majorities.
I did not vote for Donald Trump I voted for the Republican party, they more closely have the same ideology as I do. Demarcates will turn this country into a Social country everyone relying on the Government to bail them out . Work hard get ahead in life.
trump was and forever will be the bestest and greastest president ever in the history of president and all the dems who worked against him should lose their jobs forever and never be allowed to hold office again
The best answers to questions about questions and questions about questions or answers answers to answers answers and answers questions
I found it sad that this survey exhisted. It just shows how very broken our country is. But I am very happy that I got to participate in it.
In the section where you show two candidates and what they support and not support and we are to choose one of them. You should have a third choice of "neither". The very first two candidates, you show them both supporting the impeachment of Donald Trump, since I am opposed to the impeachment since he is now a private citizen, you should have given me the option of choosing 'neither" as my answer.
This survey is inherently biased against conservatives. the dead giveaway? When you focused most of the questions on Republican bad behavior with one inferential questions about Democrats. The Candidate A and B questions should have provided a "neither" button. So much for unbiased research for you to prove a non-integrous point.
To me this survey was just a little biased. The questions about Republicans intimidating Democrats does not happen with that being said. The questions asked in that section should have been asked of both parties not just one.
This has been one of the most interesting surveys that I have taken in the past year.
I like it. It seems a proper time to review our form of government
I would not have voted for either of the republican a or B candidates. I would vote progressive, democratic socialist, Democratic Party .
interesting methodology and a good balance of questions.
Mostly biased against the former President. Insiders have judicial immunity like most in the Demcrat party. Noone ever seems to be prosecuted for crimes the general public would be..
The term Democratic does not represent the American political system. We are a constitutional federal republic.
I do not support violence, as asked in the question panel about Democrats threatening Republicans. It is awkwardly phrased though, I do support protests and the BLM riots and believe that those were the correct ways to make an impact on conservatives and the republican party.
Interesting survey...Questions were straightforward & clearly articulated
It was a great survey. I love the nuanced, Socratic approach to the political zeitgeist.
Frankly, it seemed very biased. And some questions I would have answered "neither" if that had been an option.
JUST WANT OUR COUNTRY TO BE SAFE. WITH BIDEN, IT WILL NOT.
I take what I answer in my surveys seriously, but often these surveys have answers to questions written to skew the results to favor the one who initiated the survey because no fill in boxes are provided to give an explanation to one's answer which maybe in a gray area and not simply yes or no answers.
The survey was obviously biased for Donald Trump.
STOP SAYING DEMOCRACY! WE ARE A REPUBLIC!
The only problem I had with this survey was the first two candidates I had to choose which I prefer. As far as I could see, the only difference was their names. One had a latino-sounding name and the other person had a non-specific race name. In this case, I wish I could have chosen Other (including reason), because I would have answered that I don't wish to choose a candidate based solely on their name. And I wanted to let you know that my decision was a conscious one.
I would like to see results after swapping the parties in "violence against" section. I would have liked the poll to be more even handed. The questions were not quite loaded but approaching it
It would be better if you.could allow more nuanced responses. Example I.strongly approved of.most of.Trumps.policies but his personal behavior was terrible
Clear succinct questions. Dividing the country geographically would only serve to accentuate the problems albeit tempting.
I am a srptrong constitutional conservative who really dislikes Trump, but dislikes the Democrats even more. I think Biden won legitimately in November, but Democrats do encourage electoral fraud (but not on such a large scale that it can shift tens of thousands of votes).
Donald Trump was a great President who cared about the people like me who take these surveys.
You mentioned the press and the government. At this time most of the press in this country is nothing other than A propagandist arm of the Democrat party. They would like to send us to reeducation camps and maybe just us up and shoot us. There were too many shenanigans in several states regarding this last election. Statistically it is impossible for Trump to be ahead at 2 AM when I go to bedAnd then at 8 o’clock when I get up everything is Biden Biden Biden. Of course we know they stole the election they hated Trump! He did more for this country in four years than any president in my lifetime
Great survey with clear and easy to answer questions
one of the questions had a choice between two people with no difference other than name. we are a republic not a democracy (mob rule) so the use of that term needs to be defined/restricted. survey seemed to be leaning to one party. some of the choices of who to vote for should have included neither.
I had no problems with the questions except at those requesting who I would vote for. I really wouldn't vote for any of the republicans because each had at least one item on the list that I did not agree with.
Some of your questions were extremely stupid. "Would it be good or bad to have experts, not government, make decisions" doesn't describe anything. Like, what, a council of Smart People get together and decide stuff? Who would choose these people? How would they get anything if they weren't, you know, a government. That question makes literally no sense. Also, "would you support this Republican (never, they're all trying to murder this country) who has committed unforgivable acts or this one who has also done that?" No. I would literally never support them under any circumstances.
It's to early to grade the President on how he is doing.
Trump is not God and what he did was impeachable
Not a problem but your choices made some of the questions hard to answer. Also the the speaker for the House said the Republicans were the enemy.
everything was clear and easy to understand.
Only problem is that your bias is on display against President Trump.
The who would you vote for questions were absolutely race baiting and gender baiting questions. If you self proclaimed "Learned people" want to stop racism and sexism then quit looking for it under every rock and behind every tree. You are more concerned with minorities, women or LGBT holding public offices then having the most qualified people. We would be better off not having political parties and not knowing anything about our candidates other than their stance on the issues instead of knowing everything. You consider yourself better than everyone else but you are no better for voting for a black transgender female because of their color and orientation instead of their stance on policies then a neo nazi skin head is for voting for the white candidate just because they are white.
no problem was intrustian and enjoyable to do
I like the political questions. They make me think hard about the answers
On the questions about which Republican I would support out of two with various traits, in reality I would not vote for any Republican candidate so those answers are maybe misleading? I answered based on which I would choose if forced to.
This was an interesting survey and up to date with the times.
not all the question where asked fairly. not enough answers to give a different opinion ..
Love to see the actual survey results published for the public to evaluate.
Your questions about Republicans expose your bias, when most violence is committed by the left
California should be its own Nation with Joe Biden leading the democrats and the republicans should have their own president
pretty good survey. 1 topic, mostly good questions. there was 1 choice of 2 candidates that were 100% identical except for their name - and you forced me to choose 1 - poor
This survey is interesting and easy to understand.
I don't know that I would vote for any Republican ever (RE the Candidate A vs. B questions)
One of the questions had two candidates which had exactly the same platform
This was the most interesting survey I’ve done with respect to my political opinions, so far!
The following question was unclear: "Having experts, not government, make decisions according to what they think is best for the country Very good Fairly good Fairly had Very bad" The use of the word 'experts' vs government is too general. Nuance is needed with regard to: the subject area; the nature of the expertise; whether the government has personnel or subdivisions with that expertise, and; the objectivity of the experts and their expertise.
Your survey seemed to be a little one sided for the democratic party. You did not ask if it was ever alright for the democratic party to use violence in order to benefit them, which they did a lot of in the big cities like Seattle, Portland, Minnesota, etc. before the election.
Some of these questions were not as simple as the answers allowed. I answered with the best possible answer for me, but without explanation I don't think they will be very accurate.
The United States should reorganize into democratically governed sovereign city-states.
Black and white biased questions do not make me feel that the surveyors are actually interested in my opinion.
The insinuation of the Confederate states gathering in one belief to separate from the rest of the states is very insulting and offensive. While, at this time, I do see our country as divided in points of view, there are a lot of different shades of grey in social beliefs. I am an ally of the LGBTQ community (my brother and his husband); I am "color-blind" to the different shades of pigment and accept all humans as individuals, however, if you act like I owe you something just because of the pigment of my skin then you obviously are closed minded to the thought of any of my ancestors also coming from Africa. I support the right to choose but not my tax money paying for that choice (I had to pay for mine, everyone else should pay for theirs also). Everyone should have a good, well-rounded education; however, the K-12 should be where the taxpayers' money goes, higher education is a choice (I worked my way through college with no loans, grants, or scholarships). While other countries and their people do deserve assistance, what about our First Nation people? What have we done to help them? There is a lot more going on than what the secluded lifetime members of government are willing to see and one day in a tourist area does not allow for the real life experiences of the locals.
Good survey. I am glad to see that you are addressing the voter fraud that occurred during the 2020 presidential election, while big tech companies are trying to ERASE it from their social media platforms. President Trump DID win the election by a MAJOR landslide and worked TIRELESSLY campaigning while Joe Biden hid in his basement and obviously couldn't draw the crowds like President Trump DID at his rallies. I also strongly believe that the incident at the capitol building was the fault of the DEMOCRATS alone AND NOT PRESIDENT TRUMP.
Wonder why (not really considering the organization) you choose to focus on Rep actions and not both parties. This sort of bias and untruths is one of the reasons my family left the Dem party and became Independents
How often do you construct surveys that aren't agenda-driven bias. How often are we playing this ludicrous shell game when forking out gazillions of dollars to the "small businesses" and/ or the "dilapidate infrastructure" when ALL THE TIME the monies go to the wealthiest big businnesses/corporations to pad their profits MORE THAN helping real quality need & aid for those small businesses/entrepreneurs. Just like a bait/switch game! How can one candidate who OBVIOUSLY won an election (by a MEGA- LANDSLIDE) before the impending deadline of time, lose to a non-appealing candidate who besides very few openly supporters go to any of his rallies, and has many serious brain abnormalities that impair his reasonable judgement and responses for a quick thinking immediate action strategy on the spur of the moment's decision? Only by FRAUD is the answer!!!
The last question about choosing between 2 candidates had the same platform. Not sure if that was intentional.
This part of the survey dealt with bashing President Trump. Of course you liberals didn’t bring up anything about Biden’s connection to China, his son Hunter’s connection to China and taking money from Ukraine and China. You people sure have shown your political side.
We don't live in a Democracy. We live in a Constitutional Republic. Learn the difference. No one in the world has the time to live in a Democracy - not even the Athenians of old. So, stop referring to our country as a Democracy. Because of this I don't think your survey is very scholarly or objective. Also, it appears that you do not know how contention presidential elections have been in our country's history. Ever hear of the Lincoln-Douglass Debates? Do you know about the heckling that went on? Why do you think these debates lasted for hours? Do you know how contentious the election of John Adams was? Your questions indicate that you don't. What are you after with this survey? It's not what you wrote in your first panel of this survey.
Had no problems with the survey. Questions were clear.
I would probably never vote for any of those candidates. Should have been a option.
Yes, I wonder why you depicted Republicans as the aggressor in the section asking about taking action against Democrats. Why wasn’t the reversed asked as well? It makes me think this survey is biased.
Nothing was confusing it was clear and understandable
I didn’t have any problems with the survey
Joe Biden is a fake .. illegitimate elected person. He's ran by the cabal of corruption that elected Donald Trump in the first place. CCP owns Biden and the Democrats and I've never feared more for our country and our sovereignty. You would have to be blind not see what the left is doing to this country. As for leaving the union... add Texas. Oklahoma, Arkansas, Florida, Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, and maybe Georgia if the corruption isn't too far gone. I'm ready for all the liberal ran cities to become their own city states..and leave the rest of the country alone.
Interestingly obvious trade-offs. I firmly believe that Trump was the worst president in the history of the country. It is early days yet, re: Biden. I have hopes that the divide that became obvious during the Trump administration will lessen over time. I am not as interested in keeping Trump's name in the headlines as I am moving on. I would like for him to be held responsible, but not to the detriment of moving forward.
This is quite biased. Reverse the questions asked abut Republicans and ask the same of Democrats.
The 1st set of questions were a bit obscure & hard to understand logically. I did the best I could.
In asking which of two candidates a respondent would support given certain characteristics, there should have been an option of not supporting either
There should be a distinction between “democracy” and “representative republic” in the questions. Are the questions inquiring about pure democracy (mob rule), or democratic engagement by the public in general? Define your terms.
I would not support a any of the republican candidates in the comparison questions. They all supported (or didn’t support) policies that I wouldn’t agree with.
Some questions forced me to chose an answer I felt I wasn't qualified to because I didn't have the option to say "not sure or "I don't know ".
One set of candidates was exactly the same in every aspect except their names. I didn't like that. It seemed like I had to chose one based on perceived ethnicity based on their names. I assume that was the case. Otherwise, I very much enjoyed the survey.
Biden isn't illegitimate because of the way the DNC cheated against Trump, it is illegitimate because of how they cheated Sanders. Sanders has the popular support that Biden was never capable of garnering on his own. Sanders should be POTUS, and all the Bernie's mittens memes are proof that he is more beloved by the people than Biden will ever be.
It was very relevant to things going on, in particular the events of January 6 on our capitol
I refused to answer 1 question because I will never vote for any candidate that does not support the results of the election of Joe Biden.
DUMP TRUMP IN THE TRASH WHERE HE BELONGS!!!
Why didn't you whether or not we approved or disapproved of the Democrats encouraging violence? Where were the Democrats and media when Antifa and BLM were rioting, burning buildings and doing their best to destroy cities. Not a single complaint from them but Trump and Trump supporters complained rather loudly about the injustice. And, as far as the DC riot, 99% of the Trump supporters has nothing to do with the riots nor did Trump say anything to incite the violence. Those who did riot were only disguised as Trump supporters or were not TRUE Trump supporters because if they were they would not have been a part of the riot. Not once in the four years that Trump was President did Trump Supporters riot. Maybe it is time for you should be asking yourselves why are the Democrats so determined to get rid of Donald Trump. Is it because they are afraid he will finally expose them for corrupt treasonous politicians they are and hold them legally responsible for their actions. I suggest that in the future you make sure your surveys are not so one-sided because by doing so you expose your true agenda. GOD BLESS AMERICA AND PROTECT THIS VERY SPECIAL COUNTRY FROM THOSE WHO WISH TO DESTROY IT FROM WITHIN!
I'm thinking the separation would be a good thing as long as people would mind their own business!!
This survey was obviously directed towards Republicans and conservatives. Why not say so? I particularly enjoyed having to make choices between candidates of the same party, but with differing political goals. Forces one to sort of what is most important. Several questions dealt with Republican views concerning political violence, but not Democratic views.
You seem preoccupied with Democrat violence on Republicans when the opposite is what happens most in this country. Who has all the guns and is constantly threatening others? Try to control your bias next time.
Does not seem unbiased to me. Many questions do not reflect my views very well. A "none of the above" response would have been my preference.
In the section when choosing candidates A or B, noticed the last 3 where exactly same with exception of names.
My only comment is that these types of surveys can be frustrating to fill out as the answers provided lack nuance.
This time is a time which are country has never been through. Hard for me to think I am in United States. We as a nation are traveling down a very dangerous path. Thanks
You needed to add questions about how the media interfered/influenced the election, how left wing violence on college campuses and in blue states has influenced elections, Overall, this was a biased survey.
only the survey is boring.. im not into politics
The answers were set answers and on some questions I couldn’t express how I felt. I had to choose a or b and sometimes I didn’t want either one.
There was nothing confusing about this survey
I really liked the subject of this survey. Very interesting questions
i like your survey's your's cut thought the BS
I'm sick and tired that the surveys paint republicans as the bad guys and those who does the riots and threat everybody who does not think like them do are the democrats, just look at Pelosi, Waters etc inciting to attack the republicans and even kill them
Some questions, I felt, were condescending. A double negative to get a set response. There should be a “do not agree” option.
The US is a Republic not a true democracy. So the people that made this survey need to go back to school. This fact changes most of the answers to the questions. But I took their cluelessness into account when I answered. Remember a true Democracy is two foxes and a chicken voting what for dinner. Hope this helps you guys out
This survey was pretty biased. Democrats and Antifa and BLM wreaked havoc all over the U.S. with violence. Yet this stupid survey acted like republicans are the problem?????
Nothing was confusing, and I did not have any problems with the survey. I found it rather interesting.
I did not have any problem with this survey
I couldn’t find any difference between the first two candidates. I didn’t want to vote for either of them.
stop making people that do not agree with your opinion out to be deplorable and have no value. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and should have a equal voice and not be censored. We do not need all the infighting. Biden needs to be more tolerant of the poor in the country. Not everyone has the ability to be a computer programmer. I know because I taught programming classes and there were some people who never got it.
I would not have voted for any of your supposed candidates. IMO, the survey was slanted Left, but maybe it would have been otherwise had I stated I was a Democrat.....BTW, the Presidential Election was a huge fraud, and at 76 I will not waste my time voting or supporting any future candidates unless this election fraud is rectified to the American people's satisfaction.
Questions regarding violence for Republican candidates were biased, giving an additional question for them that was given for Democrats. Also, violence may be called for before anyone listens. Obviously, the House and Speaker have no morals, yet they insist on protection when the violence THEY incited actually happened. Had they not spent years and millions of dollars to destroy Trump, none of this would have happened. What goes around comes around.
You said it would short. This was not short.
The election was stolen!! O'Biden won't last as president. The Democrats will usher him out of the office and replace him with a socialist, Kamala Harris. It's a sad day for America!
I often find surveys with an option to answer "somewhat approve" or "somewhat disapprove". What is the difference? If one only slightly approves of some action, doesn't that also mean that they also slightly disapprove of the same action? Similar options occurred throughout this survey. I would have liked to have had an opportunity to comment and further explain my thoughts .
some of the terminology/jargon was difficult to understand for someone with limited exposure to politics
The aspects of the survey that were a tad bit iffy are the following where it states that should government stop/intervene if a member of an opposing party send threatening messages to the opponent.
You ask about what party we identify as but you never ask what party we registered with. So I think their should be the 3 questions.
not very subtle, but nice try one choice for candidates had identical positions; college taught me to proof-read.
I was serious in this survey because it was important and the questions were not stupid
Looking forward to answering questions about president Biden for next 4 years.
The Republican are confusing. That is not the fault of the survey.
Not at all confused, but I did find some questions very biased. Such as asking if Republicans did violence but not Democrats. Violent acts and encouragement to violence have occurred much more from Democrats and left leaning groups. All one need do is look at last summer. Maxine Waters for example is a disgrace. Do I think the election was fair, NO. The fix was in by omission and appalling dishonesty of the MSM. At 82 it's the saddest thing for this country and I fear for my decedents.
It is important not to forget the very harmful things trump did in the last few years and never make another mistake to elect someone like that again
I had no problems with this survey & all questions were easy to understand.
Could have had a vote for neither candidate because I would not vote for either
I liked the survey. I am afraid for the future of democracy.
this was the most biased survey I have received from YouGov. very disappointed with YouGov
"All votes have equal impact on election outcomes" <- LEGAL votes. We want ALL LEGAL VOTES counted. "When, if ever, is it OK for Republicans to send threatening and intimidating messages to Democrat leaders?" <- this question is seems suspiciously vague in order to facilitate narratives derived from ambiguity. Why specify 'Republicans', but not define 'intimidating'? Why not ask about 'political rivals'? Bias? What is 'intimidating'? Is the idea that a political opponent might win 'intimidating'? This 'survey' is exceedingly bias.
This has happened before: Why do you always ask questions about Republican causing riots; harassing Democrats on the internet; send threatening and intimidating messages to Dem leaders; is it justified to respond with violence if Dems engage in violence in advancing their political goals; if Dems win an election, how often is it justified to respond with violence??? Why do you not ask questions about the Democrats doing these things and if it is right?????? You are so bias toward the Democrats and it is so obvious it screams at you off the screen!!!!!
I don't like the fact that I had to choose between two candidates when I actually liked neither. Should have been given a third choice to choose neither.
Yes, I did not care for the choices when you asked to compare canidate a and b.
I really enjoy doing surveys and being honest in answering the questions to the best of my ability.
the united states was founded as a republic, not a democracy and that is why thinking we are a democracy creates the political divides there are in this country right now.
Survey questions definitely seemed a little biased! We get it! You think everyone hates President Trump! Well, you are so wrong! There is absolutely no way that 1/2 of our country thinks that the totally incompetent Beijing Joe Biden should be our President! Lord help us all!!!
I had to refresh a page one time but other than that, no problems.
Some of the questions used the terms 'threatening' and 'intimidating'. It would have been helpful if the question/statement was more specific, such as physical versus verbal, or both, types threats or intimidation. I believe physical threats and intimidation are never acceptable, whereas verbal threats and intimidation is occasionally or rarely necessary.
asked questions on republicans, im not republican and would not vote for republicans
perhaps you could have given more options for answers, (* ie. Not sure, dont know, etc...) also in the what do you consider yourself.?(* ie. Democrat, Republican, etc...how about adding ..non voter..) ....better yet ...perhaps as why we did or did not vote. ....Just some some ideas to help you out .
No "back" button. a) President Trump did NOT commit crimes while in office; b) I Always answer questions sincerely.
biased and suggestive. What do you mean by we should have "experts”making the decisions? RE: Covid? RE: Pipeline? RE: environmental? these are all separate issues with separate answers..RE: Medical?RE:Financial? re: the stock market? these cannot be the same answer and is not a question with general answer. As is the problem with many of your questions..eg..the "who would you vote for Candidate A or B? " both selections were the same..was that a trick question to see if we were paying attention? or for another reason?
Your question about abolishing the electoral college is too limited in its options--I do favor eliminating the electoral college but not in favor of a straight popular vote--I prefer ranked choice to straight popular vote to replace the electoral college.
This survey has extremely slanted and biased questions that make it impossible to actually gauge the respondent's answers accurately Too many questions were of the "have you stopped beating your wife" nature.
One of the comparisons between candidates had two options with exactly the same policies with the only difference being in the name. While I see this could be an interesting question to have to answer just based on perceived identity based on name, I wish there would have been an option for "either candidate"
Interesting but it seemed a little biased as to democrats VS republicans.
Biden and the rest of them belong behind bars. Biden will never unite the country!! They had NO respect for President Trump don’t ask us to respect Biden. This election was stolen
Maybe simplify the questions a little more
I didn't have any issues with the survey and I didn't find any aspects of the survey confusing. I enjoyed giving my honest opinions and was glad to see the questions weren't the typical basic political questions in most surveys.
No problems and the survey was not confusing.
No problems with the survey. Would like to note that in my answer re: factional violence, I believe in a right to self defense. So force must sometimes be met with force. But do not believe in political violence.
I didn't have any issues with the survey, the questions were clear and easy to answer. I thought it was interesting, thank you for the opportunity!
I don’t have any problems with the survey
The correct nomenclature for the Government of the United States is: A Democracy in a Republic. Actually, the US is a Republic, if one must refer to it as a singular type of government. You, like most of the folks seem not to recognize that and that will skew your survey, IMHO.
I had no problems with the survey. Nothing was confusing. Thank you for the opportunity! I enjoyed participating.
The comparison between two candidates that had equal info. Very confusing
We are not a democracy. We are a representative republic and therefore, many of your questions are misleading and irrelevant.
Nothing was confusing, maybe include a few more questions on views that are “heterodox” to either major party
when choosing candidates, I would liked a support of neither
I dislike only having two choices. I've learned that I can now either write in or vote third party. The two party system has been a failure that caters only to the already rich and powerful.
Why is it necessary after the fact...what is the info going to be used for in terms of the election...Biden won...and yet and still it seems they tend to infer voter mishap or fraud
The survey was interesting and very easy to take.
I don't understand why you asked about democratic people violence towards Republicans and not the other way around. I believe Republicans are the most violent and are fighting for gun rights and the right to kill people.
I meant to say that my highest degree is Bachelors, not Masters. I went to school for my Masters but did not graduate. I apologize for my error!!
I answered the questions it's best I can
No problems, however when given the A/B choices between the 2 candidates, sometimes I supported neither given their stances.
Yes the questions about candidate A or B should have had the option of Neither, because if I don't like either candidate I would not vote for either one! It's funny how these surveys always ask when it's ok for people on the right to engage in violence. but never ask the same about the left, when people on the left are the ones that are almost always the ones engaging it the violence, cheating and intimidation of others!
ppl know they need to remove isis from power to fix this world... so until then keep fighting the good fight... its inevitable and they know this because of them hiding and rigging stuff to ot end up in jail or done away... they wont do such stupid stf... its not how you get lit anyway... lol.. namaste
The first questions were quite confusing, wording wise.
Not everyone is either liberal, conservative, or moderate. I am a radical.
Being given a set of questions to choose between two Republicans, when I'd likely never vote for anyone in that party (without serious reform and wholesale change to a left-of-center party) and when I'd object to most of what all those candidates stood for and rather not vote or vote third party/write-in, was a problematic choice that doesn't reflect anything accurate about my thoughts.
I tried to answer questions honestly . the candidate questions were a little perplexing but as in real circumstances i tried t o select the lesser of the two evils. Ido not think trump was a saint he was certainly a far better candidate than hillary or biden . I have a lot to say ....money out govt./// term limits/// punish lawbreakers/// what happened to common sense???? do any of these people care about any thing other than money or power????
It was tough for me to decide which was most important - affirming the election results vs being on board with funding transportation and/or small businesses.
the dem against rep violence questions were tough because there’s a lot of nuance. was the first question regarding registered democrat voters threatening republican officials or dem officials threatening?
The questions were very biased and left leaning. It never once addressed the fact the Democrats are the ones threatening and pushing violence on the Republicans. It never addressed it is wrong to censor conservatives into silence with threats.
Some times you ask the same questions or irrelevant questions even after accepting information given otherwise.
I wasn’t sure if the questions about justifying violence was referring to if people tried to justify political violence or if it was acceptable to justify violence
no comments it was an interesting survey.
I think it’s counter intuitive to be asking people such vague and obviously guided questions about the political system they probably don’t know enough about to answer anyway. People were mad trump won in the first place so of course all the allegations and what not came up, but it was quite obvious that trump had majority vote before the college started their study. I honestly think voted need to be taken at face value, 1 for 1 so there aren’t issues like this anymore with argument on what happened to votes or where did votes come from, this is all school kid stuff that we are seeing in our leaders. Very reassuring
1. The United States is a Constitutional Republic not a Democracy. I am a conservative who believes that people should be left alone to make their own decisions on what they do in their own time, to decide what's best for themselves and the Government need to butt out. We need smaller Government not the large bloated corupt government we are seeing now.
That last question could have been worded better.
JOE BIDEN PLEASE GIVE THE U.S. STIMULUS CHECKS!!!
Semantics and perception of a government vary widely in the minds eye of a large population which can lead to misunderstood reasonings by posing questions to individuals regarding that government.
The survey was straight forward, and transparent in it's approach to the topics discussed.
So I do not like Trump, and I strongly think the US NEEDS to move on.
One on the candidates you had me choice, I don’t know what you were testing, cause they were both Republicans, they both had the same policy positions, and they both had Latino sounding names. So I just don’t get it, if you had made it a white or black sounding name or changed the policies, but I don’t know get why you basically had me choice between two people who were essentially the same.
I would like an estimate of how long the survey will take.
Some of the questions, such as choosing the candidates and having part of the US form a new country, were very thought provoking and difficult to answer. I liked that.
None of the questions were confusing or hard to understand. I generally enjoyed taking this survey because I loved being able to share my opinion on topics I feel strongly about.
I think this is a good survey and has intelligent questions.
Not confusing at all. Praying for our country to become free of foreign influence and the agenda of evil
If the dems walk back promises of aid they made like student loan cancellation and $2000 checks they will get absolutely demolished in 2022
I love y’all I hope you have fun with you
The beginning sounded very biased toward Democrats.
I'm concerned about the exercise in choosing between the sets of 2 hypothetical candidates. It read, to me, like an exercise in choosing between the lesser of two evils, and in so doing, each time the lesser of the two evils seemed to have a name that would be likely to belong to a person of color, and what results the researchers are going to infer from that. Identity politics do not get us anywhere, it is merely a way for the elite to further divide and conquer the rest of us.
There are some questions I don't have opinion on but there is no option for that.
So specific on forming a democratic country or west coast
