I enjoyed this survey it was interesting
Personally, I think that the RNC and DNC are different ends of the same snake.
Wonder what answers Democrats give to similar questions on their end…
This was a very biased survey. It followed what is actually being done--democrats accuse Republicans of all the nasty things that the democrats are actually doing.
you asked if barrack Obama was the first president....what is that about?
no problem. Nuance is difficult in survey questions, isn't it?
Slated to democrats, Republicans are the ones persecuted
after finishing this little survey I can tell Democrats are never questioned on there involvement when the do wrong to America laws. Sure can tell this is from our great higer educational system.
Shy where there no questions about, the BLM violence, Antifa take over of the ity in Washington State and Portland Oregon. Where the questions about the Bernie Sanders supporter who attacke the Republican baseball team,?
The survey seems to have been created by people left of center. Nearly all violence is done by the left. January 6 was not an insurrection, and was, at least in part, orchestrated by the FBI and others on the left.
Let's be clear, President Donald Trump is NOT RESPONSIBLE for the 1-6-20 Riot!
No problems, very clear, mostly unbiased
There was only one question that was awkwardly worded and I had to give a non-specific answer.
I feel this survey was one sided against the Republicans
I found this survey extremely biased and did not enjoy taking part in it.
A majority of these questions were biased and do not reflect my true opinions regarding a number of the issues raised. Very poor/slanted/biased survey. surve
The US Is a constitutional REPUBLIC, it never was a democracy and you need to learn the difference.
Not a lot of room for nuance! I don’t think you’ll get useful data from half these questions.
Without a doubt one of the most biased, incorrect surveys we've ever seen. If you don't like republicans, just go to the dope bar with your students. If you aren't smart or honest enough to see that dems and antifa, blm, etc. were FILMED doing exactly what you accused republicans of, you need to get away from impressionable minds before you ruin them.
I find the line of questions interesting in that they tend to promote and expect violence for disagreeable options.
I liked the questions that checked to see if someone was paying attention like ww2 coming before ww1
Sounds like it's slanted towards the Democrats
I think the survey should have asked the same questions about Democrats as it did about Republicans.
It was clear and concise. It was also interesting.
where are the questions about republicans obstructing and using violence and gerrymandering?
This was a biased survey and the questions were vague and misleading
This was a good one. It is trying to get good information.
Need simpler language for the normal now
This was an exceptionally well-written survey including the questions designed to weed out people who were fully reading the question.
No problem technically with the survey, questions were clear
I found the questions about Democracy to be a problem as the USA was never supposed to be a Democracy. America is SUPPOSED to be a Republic.
Some very oddly worded and slanted questions.
extremely bias questions and only answers that fit left agenda
Bias is showing. Balance the survey by switching “Democrat” and “Republican” in each question.
Many questions are quite poorly written, asking for levels of agreement with statements that have multiple parts, or which are based on (imply) faulty or arguable assumptions. E.g., offering a thirsty voter water might be a felony in Texas; to even suggest that’s inappropriate would suggest heartlessness, but you’ve lumped it together with destroying property.
Seemed to be biased and aimed at Republicans only. Many of the questions should have and could have been aimed at Democrats also.
I disagree with the premise of some of the questions particularly about Jan 6th as it assumes motives and data that has not been established. The questions about Jan 6th could/ should have been asked about the events in the west coast that were violent and destroyed property and resulted in deaths. I considered this a push poll looking to validate preconceived results
Assuming the questions were different for Democrats and Republicans, otherwise it seems biased. Either way, violence is never warranted.
One thing that was never asked about was the extent to which media bias affected the outcome of the 2020 election.
The survey was biased against Republicans, Where were the questions on BLM/ Antifa riots? Blm and Antifa were much more violent and destructive than Jan6.
Providing actual Republican responses was good but I would avoid to have also seen the democratic responses.
This survey is slanted against conservatives
Division is negative. This is bias. My opinion of others is untrue
As an Anti- Trump Democrat , I find it hard to believe any republican.
In the survey about what I thought republicans and/or democrats think, I mistakenly answered what they thought happened, and not what they thought that was important/ Sorry, no backup arrow.
There are no gray nuanced choices in your survey because you try to drive answers to your predetermined outcome. Because of this shortcoming most pollsters come up off the mark on election days.There were 0 guns at the Capitol and the Democrats are blowing the incident out of proportion for political haymaking. You will never get the pulse of the people when the authors have a political bent when formulating the answers to pick from. It is very transparent the point of view of the authors because the choices are like stick figures as opposed to fleshed out real world choices by thoughtful people.
For those who are not completely following political news it was hard to understand at points
Great survey! I was a little confused about how GOP members think & was way off on some questions.
I found the early questions about the constitutionality of the president difficult to answer. I don't feel Joe is violating the power of office but certainly feel Trump did a con job on this country.
Wish you had asked more Republican questions of their ethics currently
Not confusing but your response on the GOP is NOT representative of where I live, Texas.
this is one of the most politically biased surveys I have ever seen or heard of
I would be interested in the results of your study.
It was interesting. I liked the part where my low opinion of Democrats was rebutted by your statistics.
good survey but seemed like favored republicans
Why don’t you ask about all the violence on the part of democrats?
This was bias against republicans the Democratic Party are the lawbreakers
Mostly it's never justified to do the things listed in this survey, but the democrats do it ALL THE TIME so an eye for an eye...
Some questions are not necessarily yes/no
No problems were encountered-I did however hesitate on one question as to exactly what you were referring to, but took my best hunch as to what you might be referring to.
I always wish for follow up questions on Agree/Disagree questions like the one about minimum wage. I think it should be increased but $10 isn’t high enough. Adjusted for inflation, it should be $26/hr.
Survey was a little biased towards republicans, also isnt it ironic that the questions about republicans using force or commiting mistermeanors exactly is what democrats have done and gotton away with.
Sounded lopsided, like you are democrats. You didn't ask about the bullshit the Democrats put out.
It's unfortunate that the survey is necessary and more unfortunate that many will respond by affording approval for bad behavior from both sides.
Senator question. I would prefer states with small populations to have one senator not two.
I feel this survey had an agenda against Republicans and did not in any way address the Democrats' false accusations against President Trump.
It seemed very biased in favor of democrats.
Where's the questions concerning Republicans? They have no right to do the things that the Democrats shouldn't be doing either.
Your questions are very misleading. Violence is never tolerated unless you are defending yourself. As for the internet one has the option not to use it or to block those they feel intimidated by. You should consider that there are always other factors instead of yes or no answers. Your questions were leaning toward blaming republicans and there was no mention of the "peaceful protests" that have ruined our cities nationwide by the democrats. Very disappointed in the biased questions of this survey. Shame on you for promoting your opinion in a non biased survey
This survey is so biased. The questions are written in such a way that it is impossible to answer them with true candor. Why aren't you asking about my REAL LIVED experience of being persecuted by Democrats, about violence on the West Coast - violence and corruption committed by Democrafts, not Republicans. I'm not sure what you are studying, but you've got a bad survey and therefore should not draw conclusions from the data
Goofy question! Wondering if it was a typo re Obama 1st president? (should it be 1st black president?)
Came across as supporting the Demcrats agenda
This survey seemed bias and the questions were leading toward a particular conclusion the survey hoped to achieve.
This Poll was very slanted to protect Republicans. If you know history, you know that it takes two terms of a Dem. to undo the harm done by a GOP president. terms under a Democrat President to undo the harm done by a Republican President. I can remember Hoover and how poor the average citizen
You gave yes or no responses to questions with gray answers. I answered as honestly as possible but please realize that in some cases, I would have answered differently.
End gerrymandering, the electoral college and the filibuster
Seems that you omitted questions pertaining to the actions of Democrats in the current debacle that exist in our government today
This survey was bias against conservatives who value the constitution and capitalism.
The questions about Democrats were confusing, do they believe the principles or are they doing them.
Would be interesting seeing the results.
I think those were good questions. I actually read each possible answer and answered with what I actually feel.
This is so obviously a TREASONOUS democrat survey the democrats are the one with b l m f****** violence shows how f****** bias yougov is and you're f****** survey what a bunch of f****** communist I hope you all of the mass of people in communist china kill all these communist f****** EVIL dogs
Not confusing, but your bias is showing.
I really put my heart into my answers, these are tough times and challenges we face. Whoever is running this survey, I hope it will have a positive impact on our country. Thank you.
The questions regarding percentage of X were misleading
Some of the questions seemed to be quite biased,in my opinion.
Interesting and well written questions- even the “trick” questions!
This survey is obviously in support of the democrats. The last several question asking if if is ok for the Republicans to harass, promote destruction of property has come from Democrats not republican. Maxine Water is a perfect example of how democrats tell their supports to get into the face of people who oppose their beliefs.
The part about what percentage of democrats think about certain issues was confusing. How would I know what they think? I could only answer on my observations of how they act, and my answers reflect those observations.
Don't like politics, don't vote, prefer to be under the rock.
It is never acceptable to use valance not even if it is a Democrat and no one should be allowed to get away with illegal processes.
Some of the questions were designed to make sure everybody read them carefully (such as "World war II was before World War I"). Hopefully i caught all those and answered them correctly. I do think that any survey about the January 6 protesters should question about relative treatment of dissent elsewhere: for example, both China and Nicaragua were far more lenient against far more serious protest and even violence.
some confusion re % of the parties believe certain topics essential to democracy
Why don't you ask the same questions about Democrats?
I think you were very biased in the context against the Repubs. I can see your point, but the Dems would think the same. Or worse.
No technical problems. Just bias in questions.
Questions were clear and the process was without any problems.
Nice switcheroo here. I will admit that some of the pro-gerrymander and pro-interference answers I gave were "do unto others as they have done unto you."
I assume a couple questions were checks to see if we were reading. For instance the question about Obama being the first president.
Lets stop the fighting and start healing!
easy to understand and no technical difficulties
The questions re the percentage of Democrats and Republicans were difficult to understand. I don’t think I answered them correctly.
I would love to be able to see the results of the survey.
Seemed awfully focused on Republicans, but didn’t seem to ask the same questions about Democrats.
why did you ask the same things of the dems riots
The survey is obviously left leaning. Why do you not ask questions about Democratic violence?
Needs more minority party representation and less false dichotomies
The questions were a little ambiguous and I see now that I did not understand all of them.
A survey such as this one can encourage tribalism, which is destroying our nation.
survey was fine although I don't believe the percentage number of Democrats was true to the questions asked earlier.
Evidently this study was conducted by Democrats!
Most of the question referred to what Democrats should or should not do... those questions should apply to all parties.
I was only asked negative questions about Republicans.
In the "what do Republicans think?" Anyone can answer a poll anyway they want. It isn't the answer that matters, but their actions
Why were all violent questions on republicans when democrats are the violent party
need more surveys like this to impress the fact that violence is not tolerated by anyone, only if needed to defend oneself & there is no other choice
There was no riot on Jan 6! You really are showing how biased you are. The only person harmed was an unarmed woman!
I forgot the intent of your questions on Dem beliefs on key points of democratic govt. Pls disregard my responses to that series.
The question on Democratic government was confusing, did you mean a democracy or democratic run
Will the results of this survey be made public? If the results are made public where will the results be found?
I had a hard time answering the questions about what percent of republicans... because I think they say they believe in these things but their actions don't support that.
This was the most biased, negatively influential, skewed and untrustworthy servey I’ve ever taken in 5 yrs with YouGov. Very disappointed!
I am curious as to who funded this research.
I feel that the last part of the survey was biased against Republicans and the answers I gave for Republicans would also be the same answers if it were asked about Democrats. It is never ok to use force, committ a misdameanor or committ a felony by any one.
A good survey but I'd have liked a question about how fair it is to have lies spread by democrats, found out and suppressed by the elite media.
seems a bit on the democrat bashing side and very pro republican
Some of the survey questions were worded so that I feel my intentions could not be understood when answering them. Also, when Republican answers were given, the answers were to a misunderstanding of the question.
Interesting that the questions only ask if Republicans are justified in....
You provided the correct % for Democrats as to essential principals but you didn't provide the same % breakout for Republicans. This made the survey seem biased; whether it was or not. Thanks.
Should there be automatic consequences for any political party who cheats, threatens, or misinforms public? Would be a good question to add.
I believe in free speech, but NOT in blatant disinformation. Faux (fox) news is categorized as an entertainment media outlet, not as a news outlet.
Questions were asked from a democratic position. Most answers would be the same if republican was inserted where democratic was
Just seems a little Left leaning in the Questions asked as if the Democrats don't spy and collude with outside sources to change an election.
had no problems but wanted to respond to some questions. I am not happy with our current political system at all but violence is not the solution
When asked, "If dems win in 2024 is violence ok" the answer depends on how they win
I think it is a real injustice to create violence to over throw the electoral process!
I might have misread the questions about republican opinions on values. I thought they asked whether I thought Republicans thought those things were factually true, rather than whether they should be true
I am always slightly confused when reading surveys; they are often very verbose.
The source of data regarding percentages of Democrats holding certain views was not clear.
I don't understand why the majority of questions leaned heavily toward negative Republican behavior with little negative Democrat party behavior questions.
Why were the questions only about republicans cimmitting violence, especially since it is almost lways democratic leftists who actually threaten people with violence for not agreeing with thier positions?
Good survey! With large participation, there will result a clearer view of society's view on how future government goals should be reached.
I don't feel like violence is ever justified by anyone----you didn't ask if the dems do it and they do---all the time
Why is this survey so obviously biased against Republicans and Conservatives.
dems are doing everthing they can to cheat and you blame the republicans.. lame
Some questions should be asked in a more direct way. To many words make questionsunclear
I don't understand why so many questions asked about Democrats' potential actions to harm Republicans. Regardless of political views, the answers are the same, e.g., using violence to advance a political goal is wrong.
This is Country is a Republic. You stress "Democracy". Is this by a nefarious political intend> If the minority is left unprotected like you infer by adding more than 2 senators per state, the Republic falls. The founding fathers had it right and the constitution needs to remain as written.
Some questions require an answer that is not acceptable. Eg… should the government require a $10.00 minimum wage? I believe that $15.00 should be the minimum wage. If I answer “no”, it can appear that I don’t want an increase in the minimum wage. I think I answered “probably “… I was not given the opportunity to answer according to my belief.
Hold Donnie trump and all involved accountable
I have great respect for surveys, especially political ones since I seldom get asked these questions.
important context wasn't provided on some early questions; didn't stop to make notes. sorry
Both party need to work together if we are going to get back on the right track
I always wish that these kinds of surveys have more nuance. For example, violence would be very wrong if Trump won the election in 2024 fairly. However, if he won due to voter suppression, manipulation of local election offices, threats of violence, legislatures deciding not to certify votes, etc., then some violence might be warranted--though not directed at people. People should be marching in the streets if that were to happen.
There was a technical problem and had to refresh my browser
l have the feeling the questions were slightly tilted to be critical of Republicans
Getting back to a demorcratic county would be wonderful, but not using violence to do so.
Wow, what a biased survey. There is a mountain of compelling evidence that shows the election was stolen by Dominion voting machines. Also, there was not a 'riot' at the Capital. It was orchestrated by the Democratic Party. What BS. Where do you get your information? MSNBC, CNN, NPR? What a joke. Biden is awful and an illegitimate President.
This seems very bias against Republicans. Violence appears just fine if it's a Democrat. BS
IT'S DEFINITELY SKEWED AGAINST REPUBLICANS. WHAT ABOUT THE RIOTS FOMENTED BY THE DEMOCRATS THIS SUMMER??
Was biased against Democratic Party. Very partisan, which is what is wrong with government.
Tough questions, but they needed to be asked.
Seems like you have insinuated that Republicans are the only ones that do is tart trouble
The question concerning misdemeanors would be more meaningful with an example. If you meant protest, I would have answered differently.
the first section's wording was confusing! Also I feel $15 should be minimum wage not $10
questions were too long and somewhat difficult to understand
In the questions asking what percentage of democrats and republicans think the following principles are important, I thought it was asking what percentage believe we follow those principles, not that they are important.
Questions were very biased against Republicans
I liked the survey. It had interesting questions that I wanted to give my input on.
I wonder if the questions would have the same slant towards a democrat. Not a Republican by the way. Just a moderate
Examples of "non violent" offenses would have been good.
We are the United States of America. I am so tired of all the Party vs. Party fighting.
The questions should have been if ANY political organization committed .such acts.. not just Republicans.
THis survey was very interesting and had good subject matter.
Democrats are not angels either. They are quite violent in themselves. Take a look in the mirror.
I am not confident of accurancy of how Republicans responded to certain , or perhaps I am confusing " Republicans" with "Trumpites" rather than centrist Republicans such as Nitt Romney Or George Bush.
Your questions at the end of the previous section - you begin by specifying actions taken by Democrats against Republicans, but do not include that specification in the final question. TBH, I often feel that violence is required in order to execute needed changes in moribund systems. That, however does not obviate or exclude those committing it from the consequences of their actions, regardless of political affiliation. Both the United States and France had violent revolutions.
This is a very interesting survey. I dont want no trouble for none of the parties. I do think that we should do what is best for the country.
The survey has an evident and egregious leftist bias.
Only problem, always making Republicans the bad guy!
Some of the questions didn’t express just how I feel.
Liberals aren’t a part of the left also death to capitalism
the last few questions were hard to understand
How come you singled out the republicans and didn't do the same for democrats?
Some questions were clearly, to me, to be trick questions: Barack Obama was the first President. NOT!
The multiple choice questions did not have enough shades of meaning and should have been recast as ""In your opinion, how much violence", etc, as a write in..."
This survey was the most biased to the left I have ever taken at YouGov.
Yes, the reason for violence if Republicans win, is the nullification laws that they have enacted in Red States to take away anyone who isn't white's vote.
This survey felt bias against Democrats.
We are a representative republic, not a pure democracy.
to be a democracy the democrats and republicans need to work together, violence and mug slinging is a waste of time and taxpayers dollars.
Worse survey ever. You didn’t even try to hide your pro Trump extreme point of view.
For some reason I had to refresh the screen once
I can sure tell it was a lopsided survey looking for answers to justify an end. The way the questions were worded it was meant to make a person sound crazy. I did see one person on the from University of Chicago, so that explains that.
The part where you compared how I guessed Republicans would respond to how they actually responded is not borne out by their actions. They do everything they can to suppress voter turnout in Democrat-leaning precincts; they gerrymander; when they're in power, governmental agencies are very partisan -- foxes are put in charge of hen houses and political cronies get top jobs; and they use law enforcement to punish or investigate enemies. So it doesn't matter to me that a large majority say they are for these democratic ideals when their actions prove otherwise.
It would appear that this survey was intended to attempt to paint Republicans as "bad people". I hope it was only an "appearance".
I have no comments, problems or was confused
survey seemed heavily biased toward Republican viewpoint in some areas.
Obama was not the first president chronologically, but I interpreted the word "first" philosophically and culturally.
I love political surveys. I am aghast at the state of the U.S. 45 unleashed a great ugliness.
The wording on the questions appeared to be deliberately partisan.
Just the question if I believed world war II came before World War I
Some of the questions& and the answers offered were ridiculous!
Aside from technical issues, I think the questions asked about the Republican Party were a little vague. When speaking of future presidential elections, there should have been options whether speaking about The Trump Republicans or the Republicans not supporting Trump. To answer these questions fairly, it depends on whether we are speaking in terms of a Republican government, the outcome of violence is an example of whether the US had Trump/Trump supporters in office or a mainstream Republican in office.
Am I to expect that those taking the survey that were Democrats, got the same questions, but they referred to Democratics.
Should have same questions about Democrats
I don’t have comments and I think that don’t have confusing
Questions leaned in favor of Republicans
I don’t understand why all these questions were about what republicans could be justified in doing when if circumstances have been reversed in the past, democrats have done many of the things asked about.
Our government needs an overhaul on both sides.
Just wondering if the lsst series of questions we're asked of the Democrats askedbpf the
fun, interesting and good topics to consider and review my thoughts.
i think we need to get rid of democrates & republicans & just have one party
This survey is biased and full of crap. It is the liberals, BLM, Antifa, that are rioting and using violence and intimidation to the entire country. The Jan 6 morons just focused on the horrible and corrupt politicians in DC and did not make threats to everyday citizens. The left wing libs are going to sink the party and deservedly so. And FJB because he promised moderate leadership but delivered leftist. Good thing I didn't vote for him anyway because he was too old and weak. And Kamala is a moron, should have put Tusli Gabbard in as VP. After all she is the who smashed Kamala in the debate and got rid of her for Biden. All Kamala could do was cackle in response when Gabbard smashed her. Hmm....... sounds familiar.
The USA is a constitutional republic, NOT a democracy. Whoever made this survey is ignorant
I disagree that the January 6th protests were intended to be violent.
The wording on the question of voting was strange. It is better to have the option of "I voted" not "I'm sure I voted".
I had no problems, however, I thought the questions were interesting.
In the question about Democrats controlling all the branches of government, I think what you meant to imply was that Dems hold (narrow) majorities in the house and senate as well as control of the White House. Dems do not have a majority in the Supreme Court. It was interesting to see how my suppositions about Republicans compared to what you say Republicans reported. It would have been interesting to see how well I compared with Dems, too.
Very biased against republicans. And the US is not a democracy….we’re a republic…stop spreading lies!
Very pro democrat…..Republicans did not burn cities….they did not attack Democrats the way liberals attempted to intimidate Conservative voters….
The questions seemed heavily biased to me. Sometimes none of the options given really fit my opinion.
The survey seemed biased against republicans. Why no questions about the Democrats like Maxine waters stoking the violence in Minnesota?
I take surveys very seriously,I don't need to go online to answer any surveys,the answer comes out automatically from my brains
It is obvious that this survey is biased against democrats. I don't know why since both democrats and republicans are two sides of the same coin.
Why all the negative questions about what I thought was justified behaviors of democrats why not the same questions about republicans
I could tell a democrat wrote this survey.
Nothing was confusing, but it was very one-sided. If you are going to ask about Republicans inciting violence, then the same questions should be asked about Democrats.
The questions were loaded and often times skewed negatively and biased towards conservative thinking.
The questions in the survey are somewhat biased. Some questions could not be answered with a simple answer.
This is not a democracy but the more it becomes one, the less free we become.
most of these questions are about complex topics that require more nuance than a binary choice provides. I did not like these questions/answers.
You can tell you want to purposely lead certain answers.....very biased I feel
I thought this survey was biased against Republicans. There were quite a few questions asked about Republican's presumed behaviors. Why were the same questions not asked about democrats?
The survey was not confusing at all, but I'm always mystified at why there is always such a binary quality to answers. For some of the questions, particularly the political questions, there was never an opportunity to answer "not sure" or "don't know."
A LOT OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY BUT NOT FOR DEMOCRATS
I answered honestly despite given the opportunity not to!!!
Questions regarding "violence" or "crimes" seemed to target Democrats. Nothing about republicans.
Very good survey. I like working with YouGov
Interesting but should have had choices like NA or Not sure
Wasn't sure what the survey was to address; Opinions on near historical events or future events.
I don't believe I had any problems or issues...
I am always appalled at the questions trying to make Trump Republicans seem harmless.
it was a little one sided and should have similar question targeting both parties
I hope this wasn’t a serious research study. The questions were all leading and biased.
Some of the questions were worded in a slightly confusing way.
I think when you use the terms Democrat and Republican, you need to clarify if you mean citizens or politicians/ gov officials
This survey was extremely biased and forced me to choose answers which were not appropriate as they did not reflect my actual views.
I felt that your questing were not well thought out and some were misleading.
It seems to be a very bias survey, trying to make conservatives look bad. Never asked once what liberal would do the same!
Lots of consternation about Republicans yet not a peep about the despicable performance of the democrats - why's that?
this survey is so obvious anti republican, biased and slanted to get an opinion you want
The questions on the January 6 riots don’t seem to recognize the FBI informants roles. Nor do they recognize that how much video evidence has been withheld from within the Capitol.
the questions were skewed to the answers you wanted, just as the stats you gave. All stats can be manipulated to what the survey wants to prove.
You asked about Jan. 6th but your question is in present terms. Which are you asking about?
Regarding your question about if a Republican won the 2024 election I would say that if there was clear evidence of election fraud violence could be justified to overcome a fraudulent result
The last few questions were odd. They would seem to indicate that Republicans would use violence if they do not get their way in politics and elections. History would tend to show that it is the democrats that actually show this type of behavior.
As with many other surveys, you have tailored your questions to elicit responses that feed your statistical engine. It’s sad that this is how we gather information that could truly help. And you call yourself “higher education”.
This survey was totally biased and the questions were ridiculous! Violence is NEVER warranted and should never be allowed in the circumstances described. However, this violence has been happening for months and months by groups of other individuals and never reported in the main stream media. Again, I condemn any violent protests, but the “Republicans” are not responsible! The few people who participated violently should be brought to justice, as should ALL people (which had been happening repeatedly by other groups and hardly reported!)
This appears to be a right-wing sponsored survey trying to insinuate that the GOP's illegal tactics will be employed by Dems in the next election.
You asked about the Dems and violence but what about the violence the Republicans are committing
It was very biased towards the democrats
none. the survey was great. please send me more.
It's most always beneficial to test surveys source, offering the questions and its purpose.
Well, when you say ordinary republican that doesn't mean I wouldn't fight that part of the current republican party that tried to overthrow the government on January 6th
Too much left-right pidgeon holes, and not enough autoritarian-liberty measures.
Why did you ask if it is OK for Republican's to use violence and not ask if it is OK for Democrats to use violence?
good survey with thought provoking questions
Democrats are the violent ones. Chasing people out of restaurants, etc.
First We are not a Democracy we are a Republic. I personally felt that you gave me a push poll to get answeres you wanted.
Why do you insinuate Republicans are a problem when it's been the democrats who have been the problem
why did you give the actual percentages of democrats but not republicans.
You failed to ask all the right questions regarding potential election fraud. Certainly, making sure that every vote is counted as the voter intended, but just as important is making sure that only properly registered voters are allowed to vote.
The use of violence needed an answer that included self defense of public and private violence or doxxing.
The questions you accused the Republicans of doing the Democrats DID. This poll is a joke and slanted to the left.
A tad bit confusing and a hint of bias but overall it was okay, made you think.
Would like to see the results and cross tabs is all.
I badly misread the premise of the 'sliding scale' question and ended up answering a significantly different question in my head. My answers to the actual question probably would've tracked much closer to the survey results stated at the close of that section.
While violence is not the answer, feeling that way should be added to the survey.
Why were no questions asked about the violence Democrats approved of?
the democrats use violence to this very day, republicans need to do it now
This is 1000%, the most biased survey I've ever taken on YouGov.
A little lopsided questioning about Republicans. Same questions about Democrats would have made this more fair and balanced.
These questions are extremely biased and slanted. They make assumptions and are worded in ways to solicit the responses desired.
Half of the Republican senators are corrupt
The last questions centered on Republicans committing misdeeds, but said nothing about Democrats committing misdeeds. Appears to be biased.
As an independent who votes for Republicans, Democrats, and occasionally Independents, I found your questions biased. In many cases, the words Republican and Democrat could be interchanged.
Many of the question were too extreme and there was not a realistic answer among the choices. My answers do not adequately describe my true feeling and politics but I tried to get as close as possible.
I absolutely feel this survey was severely biased against Republicans
I like that it did not require narrative answers
It appears the designers have a bias against Conservatives.
Many of the Yes or No options did not fit my true answer to the question.
I believe both parties should work together and help Americans not fight each other
The Jan 6 was an inside job by Congress & their ilk.
How much time do I have? First all olf you have some kind of college degree. therefore you are completley out of touch with reality. You think you are smart and I ask you will tell me how smart you are in some kind of condecending way. Second We are a Representive Republic not a Democracy. Third. Senators were oringlly papointed by the state to protect their state interests. Not the people. That is the Congress peoples job. But you know that right? You went to college and you are smart. Fouth you are talking about politicians who are lairs and cheats. When they are not kissing babies they are stealing their loillpops. Fifth You did not survey and ask questiona bout violence about DemonRatys just the repukes. Why not? If you ask Repukes about statistics. Most likley they would be similar to the DemonRat responses. But you know that you went to college so you are smart. Just ask the mirror.
It seem to be slanted toward Republicans.
Characterizing January 6th as a riot could be seen as indicative of bias. Not all prospective survey takers would agree, and the wording may influence their response.
Just that the questions were heavily in favor of democrats - each party should be held accountable to the same things.
It seems you were trying to justify liberal behaviors.
I feel this survey is biased against republicans and also the “riot” at the capital was definitely a lie and was caused by democrats not republicans as this survey suggests
Hopefully, whatever conclusions arrived at can help to make us a better society.
Yes , some questions were not ask about demacraTs vs. Republicans
The word "liberal" means nothing in the modern dialogue, it is a label fascists use to denigrate compassionate public policy. There are more than two sides to this debate and the binary left vs right garbage is the source of constant bad policy and is leading to civil war.
Seems like more questions about what Republiccans
I don't care if you're Republican or Democrat, cheating, gerrymandering or violence should never be considered OK.
The Republican polls I believe are their words not actions.
Politics draws power hungry corrupt people. If they are not corrupt when they enter politics, they will become dishonest and corrupt before leaving!
It was oddly specific in targeting Republicans
I feel it is wrong for either party to be disrespectful of the other and it is wrong for them to cheat the votes of Americans our votes should be counted right for any and all election
Democrats are not working in the interest of the US.
I can't believe the BLATANT BIAS that this survey contains. It obviously was designed to infuriate any conservative who takes it.
I appreciated being in a study that is looking into some of the reprehensible political attitudes and actions today.
No, everything seemed pretty straightforward
I am tired of the bias toward the repbublicans.
Enjoyed it,liked the questions and found it interesting.
This survey was unusual, as it was thought provoking & (sometimes) left me wishing for a more nuanced answer.
I misunderstood the part about guessing what proportion of people believe something is important. I thought it meant what proportion of people currently believe it is true.
no problems . just makes me mad that democrates did all the negative things that you ask if republicans should or should not do
Instead of changing representation in the Senate it should be abolished and the seats reallocated to the house and it should be elected on the basis of proportional representation.
all answered also apply to DEMOCRATS, & the RIOT was a tempest in a tea pot.
I think it asked very interesting questions
Better answers needed. Better questions needed. The insurrection as you called it was actually BLM and ANTIFA being violent to make Republicans look bad. I have watched the videos and no violence until those horrible racist groups showed up.
Not really, I think that democrats could be a bit more aggressive in their campaigns though.
I don’t believe democrats nor republicans should do violence against one another
It was a great survey. I hope the information you collect from all helps in a positive way.
do YOU feel that democrats are justified to loot and burn cities because of something real or imagened?
I this this survey is a bit biased and should have questions asking the same thing but for democrats. Also people forget we are not a democracy we are a constitutional republic that follows a democratic process. This was designed to have smaller less populated states to still have a voice such as the 2 senators for every state regardless of population
Seemed to be very biased against republicans
I feel this survey was biased toward conservative people. For one thing, a Federal Minimum Wage needs to be at least $15 per hour; the $10 per hour suggested in this survey is no where close to what would be a living wage.
When you asked about democrats and republicans believing certain things, it was not clear if you included independent partisan leaners or just full on self-IDing partisans
Extremely biased survey. Both parties are corrupt.
define violence--I DO think property damage, eg pipeline valve turning, is entirely justified. However, I don't consider it violence. As I understand it, blocking traffic in a protest is now a felony in some states--of course breaking that law is justified
I didn't have any problems with the survey.
the president Obama question was confusing - was it supposed to say he was the first black president?
The scales - some went from agree -> disagree, and some went from disagree -> agree. That was a bit confusing
Some of the wording about Democrats & Republicans was unclear
Left vs Right would encompass much more of the political spectrum than Liberal vs Conservative, which is but the center
WHEN IT CAME TO THE ''IS IT EVER JUSTIFIED'' QUESTIONS, HOW COME I WAS ALMOST FORCED TO TAKE A PACIFIST STAND IN MY ANSWERS? I THINK YOU ASKED 5 OR 6 QUESTIONS REGARDING WHAT DEMOCRATS SHOULD OR SHOULD NOT DO AND ONLY 3 OR 4 ABOUT WHAT REPUBLICANS SHOULD OR SHOULD NOT DO.. NEITHER PARTY SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO COMMIT CRIME (MISDEMEANOR OR FELONY) TO FURTHER THEIR POLITICAL DESIRES.
On the minimum wage question, I disagreed because only $10 is too low. I had a similar response to another question because there wasn't an option that went far enough. In regards to "humor or insincere" responses, I only give those when my sincere answer is not an option.
Some of the questions about political views were rather embarrassing.
Two wrongs doesn’t make it right so it’s not justified to do any bad things.
Jan 6 was hardly a riot. Riots had been going on previously involving fire, shooting, looting, assault. This was not even close to the description of Jan 6.
This survey was easy to take and I learned something new.
Up to this point this is the most biased survey yet!
A broad line of serious questions. Made me think . Thanks
Very interesting and glad to be included. No problems, easy to complete and understand.
The only confusing part of the survey was the section showing the percentages of Republicans that gave responses in favor of fair policy and electoral freedom; simply because it isn't reflective of what is showing in the world today.
It hurts my heart to see our country has become the kind of place where survey questions ask is it ever ok to use violence...
Not confusing, but it was very one sided. You seem to forget the riots caused by the Democratic party, the Black live matter party, the looting, the stealing. There was no violence in January. They Marched in there. No one was hurt. There's never an excuse for any violence unless protecting yourself against any enemy, foreign, or domestic. I pledge allegiance to the flag f the untied States of America. Always. There are two sides to every story. This survey was very one sided.
Amerrica is NOT a Democracy... IT IS A CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC!
"Justified" is a very broad term for a category of things that is very nuaced
I can’t tell if this was a biased survey against republicans or if republicans came up because I answered I am one. I think the wording of these questions needed to be neutral. I don’t know how accurate your results will be.
The poll numbers regarding Republicans honestly seems not quite right. I would love to know the amount of people polled and the methodologies involved.
Some what a little confusing but it is ruff in the world today poor people are having a hard time we need to get more stimulus checks to help people that really need it !! People are losing things and having a hard time paying bills my daughter fixing to lose her car and she got kids so she needs her car her health is bad and she has to go to the doctor all the time disabled to work and her 5 year old is sick a lot so we need to get more stimulus checks to help people thank you !! 😢💔🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I take all of my surveys from YouGov, very seriously. Thank you for the opportunity!
Seems to be a bit biased against Republicans. Asks no questions about flaws or behavior of the Democratic party. They also do everything they can to thwart Republicans from passing legislation and call them names and behave hatefully toward them. Everyone acts like bratty children now. I'm tired of everyone
I’m concerned but assuming you specifically asked about Democrats because I identify closer to, but it leaves a bias feel
No, but I do wonder if the questions were answered accurately.
Think it was more what makes democrats look better than republicans type survey
I'm not sure if this could be an issue with results but I am an AP Government teacher so I figured I would use this space since there was not an education box for employment earlier on.
interresting but any politicals views are hard to express at times as a person really needs to know all facts before making judgements
Obama was the first president? Did you mean black president?
Corrupt officials is not a partisan issue, yet we live with the consequences
Republicans & Democrats are awful. We need a substantial third and fourth party.
Yeah, why were the majority of these questions one sided toward the Democrats? To get a fair balance shouldn't you have asked if the actions of violence or breaking the law were acceptable by Repbulicans as well? If you don't want snarky answers to questions, learn to phrase them and provide options that don't allow for snark. Some of your anwers were more complex than yes or no type answers.
Odd that you pointed out the % of Republicans that thought all those things were important, then immediately asked a question about Jan 6 where they violently tried to prevent all those things from happening.
This was a good one--it really made me think.
I don't have any comments. I always read each survey and answer each questions to the best of my knowledge..
This was a good survey and I’m interested in seeing the results.
I would have liked an other button to explain a few of the answers, as the options didn’t quite fit and needed additional explanation
I felt this was very one sided. Kinda disappointed.
I had no problems with the survey, nor were there any confusing aspects.
Biden is a horrible person who needs to be arrested and tried for treason. And take all his swamp dwellers to prison with him!!!
I really enjoyed doing this survey would like more like this
Jan 6 protests seems to be heavily mischaracterized
This survey is EXCEEDINGLY biased towards trying to finger Republicans for misbehavior, but the same question is NEVER asked if the Democrats. Everything is just fine if THEY do it.
Why were all the violent questions about Republicans and none about the democrats. That's 100% bias!
No comments, thanks for the survey! Nothing was confusing
The demographic question that asked about gender provided options that are not gender but instead referring to biological sex markers. I am a female non-binary person--I was unsure how to respond to that item.
tHE QUESTIONS ABOUT jAN 6 ARE BIASED IN A WAY THAT I DONT LIKE. YOU COULDN'T ANSWER THAT YOU DON'T THINK THE PEOPLE WERE VIOLENT OR THAT THEY WERE TRYING TO STOP THE ELECTORAL COUNT.
The questions were very specific, to each political group.
It would be nice to have access to a summary of the research proposal guiding this research. I'd like to know what it is you're getting at
It was not necessary to just focus on my response to the percentage of my democratic response.
The Affordable Care Act question may be misleading, since one can support its repeal for very contrary reasons.
I felt the questions were well-balanced. I did sometimes have to double-check myself to make sure I had hit Strongly Disagree instead of Strongly Agree. A sliding scale with color or something may have made it easier.
I strongly doubt the Republican responses given when their responses clearly don't reflect what they did.
Some of the questions were a little hard to totally understand but I answered the questions to the best of my ability
Nope, sounds interesting. Would be fascinated to see results.
I feel the balance of the questions asked should have been better.. The political climate in our country is obviously in a bad place, and asking questions relating to illegal or morally wrong acts committed by Republicans but not also by democrats gives the impression of bias.. I do, however appreciate the study..
This was a very one-sided survey. No questions about Democrats attempting to shut down One American News, Newsmax, etc the way they actually have tried? No questions about Democrat violence? Kamala Harris being racist and doing a French accent to speak to French people? The media ignoring Biden's corrupution, racism and sexism?
It's all very clear to me. Unity works. Resistance everybody loses.
Thank you for calling Jan 6th a riot, and not an insurrection. We need more honesty even our surveys. I would argue that calling the American government Democracy, is false. Technically we are constitutional republic. The republic protects minorities from the fury of the majority, which is what you get in a democracy.
Everything was asking about if it was justified for Republicans to do things. But often democrats use these tactics, and I wasn't asked if I felt they were justified or should use them (I don't think either party should)
I appreciate the section commenting on the percentage of republican/democratic voters who agreed with the statements about democratic views
I dont care who it is, both Ds and Rs need to stop being so divisive. The questions in this survey were a little insane.
I thought some of the questions, were trying to pigeon hole me me but basically fair.
Thank You for the survey. We have a problem in the U.S. it's the Democrats and Globalists destroying our country with there climate change that doesn't exist..
the age question at the front seemed weird since it said it was only a test
I'm surprised by these questions -- when would such behavior ever be ok? Looks like an interesting study.
The “trick” questions about WWI and President Obama were confusing.
Please make sure I get full credit because this was long and time consuming.
the wording of some answers could be confusing.
Spent too much time questioning Republican activities. Need more Democrat.
I am Seriously not into judging anything to do with Politics, but it Dows frustrate me that Trump is So RUDE in Everything He Says & Does.
I think the same negative questions should have also been asked of the democrats
You're entire survey is flawed. It is Democrats who commit violence, not Republicans. You're so blinded by your bigotry, you don't even see the bias in your own questions.
I am afraid a coup is working it's way thru our republic & drumpf & Q are main reasons.
Why was the focus on more of Democrats than Republicans.
This survey was in no way confusing. I like this kind of survey and would love if surveys could help change unfair practices. I have never, and would never, not take all surveys seriously. It is important to me to be honest in all areas of my life.
Donald Trump is a criminal. if I did all the things he did would be in jail for life.
Yeah, the survey had this question: "Barack Obama was the first president of the United States" which was missing a word and thus did not make sense. Also, the switching of the strongly agree and strongly disagree sections from page to page felt extremely unethical.
Hated the wording of the first set of questions. Also when I said yes to the few questions about violence I was more thinking in defense, not aggression.
Survey seemed bias as to Republican assumed violence but did not address blatant Democrat violence and harrassment including the multiple felonies committed by candidates and government officials on their behalf.
Y'all had some trick questions that required reading over twice, but no problems or confusion.
Biased and one sided. No option to pick none of the above. Used rhetoric to claim Jan 6th riots but I bet would describe BLM violence as peaceful protests.
The sliding scale thing about Republicans and Democrats
I felt that part of this survey was politically biased toward the Republican Party
The Jan.6 event had nothing to do with over turning election for Donald Trump.
Why were there any questions about whether or not threatening or violent acts by Democrats were justified.
Hey! One of the "BEST" YouGov survey/serves taken to date! No fudging around the questions!
It's horrifying that questions have to be asked about whether violence is ever justified by any political party to achieve its ends. I'm shocked and sad about where this country is going.
thanks so much. I enjoy the survey thus far.
The minimum wage question. I vote no because you asked if it should be raised to $10. It should be raised to $15.
The only violence that's been committed in the last two years has been committed by the Democratic party, via there thugs in Antifa and BLM, period!!! As for the January 6th "riot" it was the only "insurrection" in world history where not a single weapon, aka a gun, was found ANYWHERE on ANYBODY!!! Just another FBI false flag operation.
As for giving insincere responses to a survey, I only do that when I have been baited and switched into a lengthier time commitment than was promised when I agreed to participate. This was not one of those surveys. Also, I feel that a liberal/conservative left/rightspectrum is meaningless
the survey was very interesting and entertaining
You seemed to be a little tr*mp biased, and that pissed me off, since he's the worst human that ever existed.
Why are Republicans considered the violent ones?
Survey questions are too broad to draw significant conclusions. This is an aspect of surveys that create unsettling, untrue conclusions that lead to mass confusion.
The questions about allowing for violence and it being justified were disturbing
Survey seemed bias against Republicans and making democrats look innocent of wrongdoing. Seems that it was justifying the socialist communist democratic party.
The only issue I had was understanding some of the questions. I’m not very interested in politics and some of the lingo I did not understand. I answered to the very best of my ability
None it was interesting talked about some things I am not familiar with
The Capitol riot was caused by non republicans sent to DC to change it to a riot
I was having trouble getting the slide bar to work on one question
It was informative the survey worked fine
It was hard to not laugh at the survey, I mean come on we saw blm rioting and dems loved it and never a survet about that but now this one? Makes it funny that its like cnn or msnbc the radical leftists wrote the silly survey.
I am not worried that everyone who is legally entitled to vote will get to vote. I am worried about people voting that are not legally entitled to vote doing so. So far this is the most bias survey I have taken on yougov.
Felt it was making Republicans the bad guys need to look at who and what is,destroying AMERICA
Some questions were confusing to answer with the given options
You asked a few questions about the"Jan 6 insurection, where were the questions about all of the " mostly peacefully" riots that took place in 2019
Democrats stole the 2020 election, and should be severely punished
just remeber Democrats are not above the either.
I feel as though there may be backlash to this survey. It correctly depicts that the majority of terrorism and political violence in this country is caused by Republicans, but you're supposed to pretend. Otb sides are doing the same things for some reason.
The questions asked concerning what was justified by Republicans was based on an assumption that the Democrats were operating within our Constitution and laws, which was clearly not the case at all. If they had been, my answers would certainly been different.
It was very biased calling January 6th a riot when it was a protest influenced by FBI informants and the actual riots were the previous summer by Antifa and BLM.
It seemed somewhat biased, more choices needed for answers
I found the survey extremely biased. You asked if any kind of violence was justified for the Republicans but it it routinely the democrats that commit violence in the name of politics. Antifa and BLM have caused billions in damages from their riots and all the left can point to is Jan 6
Why target the Republicans and not ask about the Democratic side which is just as bad (after Trumpgot elected) ?
The term democracy is taken 2 ways. We are a constitutional republic but some use the latter as a term C.R. Is that what you meant?
I was never a strictly democrat voter. However now I feel like I will not vote for Republicans again.
Nothing was confusing but was 100% bias, we the people have the right to peacefully protest as it was on January 6th, not rioting there, "RIOTING is what the thugs of BLM, Antifa and some members of congress does to be more specific Maxine Waters, Kamala Harris they incites violence and rioting also protect and bail criminal, being a Patriot and speak up is not rioting, nobody bring guns on January 6th, the only person who died was a lady a demonstrator, unarmed woman! Democrats, progressives and liberals are dividing this country and destroying this amazing country, just for POWER! by the way shame on you University of Chicago for been bias and spread misinformation!
I did not know some of the things mentioned and I didn’t know the meaning of some of the words
What about Democratic violence that is ongoing. Why is this only concentrated on Republican action
ex of agree or disagree raising min wage to 10- i agreed but technically i disagree because i think it should be raised higher than 10
I have no idea of the point. Also, January 6th was not violent, except when Capitol police shot a peaceful bystander.
Didn’t allow for comparison about the democrats use of threats and violence against republicans or people who have opinions that differ from the Dems.
The percentage questions were a little confusing
I found the survey interesting, and was not confused by any of it.
Jan 6 was not force by Trump, the Capitol Police under orders from Democrat Leader started the violence.
Heavily biased against republicans. Democrats are criminals
The questions about the importance of the need for free/fair elections in a democracy seemed a bit weird. Like both Ds and Rs would say yes. But probably over 30% more Rs would say we don't have that now. Mostly because of an allegiance to former President Best Brain but it seemed a place to make the distinction between wanting it to be true and actual reality.
I do not follow politics at all and I am not even registered to vote so I have no idea what most of the statements mean
Why didn't you ask all the commit violence etc. questions with Democrats being the subjects -that seems a bit biased.
Yes this makes me lots of anxiety hope your not on the other side unless your both sides
So far this survey seems a little biased
No, I did not experience any problems with this survey.
I resent the both sidesism at play here. You know what my side's gonna fucking do if we win 2024? Try to protect voting rights, the climate, and the social fabric of this country. You know what they're gonna do? Because they're telling us so over and over and over again? Launch a new American Reich. These are not the same.
Many of these questions were lacking details in a way that frames some of my answers as justifying violence, when in fact they depend on other mitigating factors. Furthermore, the "actually" page about Democrats had no questions and seemed like it was meant as propaganda that does not assist in administering a survey. There was also no similar page to correct my guesses about Republicans.
I hit one wrong response and can't go back
I was extremely disappointed that the word secession notification when I use it all with your great remedies for the political climate in the United States at this point.
I was told the Democrat number but not the Republican numbers for the rating questions I find that along with the questions regarding whether it's ok for Republicans to attack political opposites but not democrats to be bias. Also the numbers I was given for the answers democrats gave are incorrect because they say they believe and want these things but I haven't met an actual current democrat that believes in truth, liberty, and actual justice for all.
Good luck to the people conducting the survey! Hopefully you don't get too many troll responses.
Some of the questions were a bit odd, but my biggest concern overall was the overall skew of the survey. It felt biased, but in a way I can't quite express.
Is this a typo? "Barack Obama was the first president of the United States". Is a word missing? because even if someone improbably forgot that George Washington was the First President of the U.S.A, it clearly wasn't Obama. Also, the question on abortion lacked necessary qualifiers. "Elective" abortions should all be illegal, but even abortion opponents aren't trying to outlaw triage when medically necessary, and it's not clear whether "all abortions" is meant to refer to only elective abortions or to also include medically justified triage, a distinction that could make the difference between strongly agree to strongly disagree (even without bringing up other popular exceptions like rape or incest). Other options likewise lacked necessary nuance, like asking about trying to lower the deficit by raising taxes on the rich: some people want to raise those taxes and don't care about the deficit even while others want to reduce the deficit by reducing spending instead of raising taxes. When a survey asks such poorly designed questions, it worries me that it's really a push poll just trying to manufacture ammo for activists.
I was tired and laying in bed during this survey, I misunderstood the percentage questions and realized when the clarifications were made on the following page.
Yes I do not welcome violence of any kind nor harassment.
I would've asked the question :"Do you believe violence by Democrats is justified if Republicans steal the Presidential election in 2024?"
Very bias, this was obviously an attack on the Republican Party. The Democrats are also not justified to attack the Republican party as they did for the last four years. The Democrats justified BLM to commit racial hate and destroy property of white people. So this is ok, only if it is against whites. You are creating hate and are not justified yo do so.
I appreciate surveys like this because we can learn a great deal from the responses. Thank you for the opportunity.
I didn't find anything misleading or reworded
It was amazing and has a lot of important information.
I didn't like the percentage rating. It's better to keep it at most, some, all, etc. for a more accurate response.
this was a really interesting and fun survey. more surveys like this please!
I believe Republicans are saying one answer with their words and another with their actions when it comes to the questions that I was asked to rate them on about counting votes fairly and treating people equally.
Why Barack Obama name was mentioned, in a stupid question
I believe the First Amendment protects the right to make political protests and that when government or politicians attempt to stifle or shut down those protests for political reasons then committing misdemeanors and more rarely felonious property damage are justified. This is regardless of the political affiliations or lack there of of those protesting.
I did not experience any problems or issues with this survey.
For at least one of the items about agreeing/disagreeing with norms, I gave the neutral scale point – not because I believe the behavior is acceptable but because the different parts of the question text were a bit confusing.
survey is very biased towards the left, no mention of leftist violence, only implies republican violence
Everything was clear read, and easy to understand.
It’s interesting that you only ask what is acceptable for republicans
I did not have any issues during this survey.
democrats and republicans are closer together in ideology than either cares to admit; both are conservative-leaning in the grand scheme of things
The survey was really good, showing the actual statistics after the "what's your guess on the stats" threw me for a loop and made me think, thank you.
Some of the January 6th questions seem partisan.
It was a little confusing with the sliders and on how dem/rep view things. Also why didn’t you ask if it was okay for dems to commit felonies or arson?
I am not sure why the questions were written as if republicans are the violent ones. I am far more concerned about violence from democrats. They like to shoot up charity baseball games and support antifa and blm. biased questions imo.
A minimum wage of $10 an hour is a joke, the question should have been "should the government raise the minimum wage to $20 an hour'
It seems like this is more pro republican
Just a few questions that I didn’t understand I would answer neither yes or no.
Why no questions on Democrats harassing Republicans or unlink illegally means. Why no questions s on Democrats causing riots an looting an no charges filed?
I misread the questions about what percent of democrats and Republicans find different issues important
All the questions about republicans should be also asked about democrats
I found some of the wording of certain questions (namely the ones with the sliding scale grading) to be a little confusing and could have been better worded.
I did not have any problems, however, I am never interested in surveys having to do with politics.
I looked up the difference between a misdemeanor and a felony for those questions.
seems biased towards democrats. the questions toward the end were asking if it was justifiable for republicans to resort to criminal activity/violence, but they didn't ask the other way around, if it was justifiable for democrats to commit criminal activity/violence
I felt called out for being a conservative person, which I didn’t appreciate at all.
In the questions about violence you should have added the harassment of senators sinema and Manchin.
I looked up how much is the federal minimum wage b/c i thought it was more than $10
Democrats were not the ones that were violent. Republicans were.
This is WHOLY biased against Republicans. Democrats/Liberals/Progressives are the ones that rioted and destroyed Public AND Private property, established "Autonomous Zones" a REAL act of insurection, throughout 2020 and 2021, yet were given a pass. One more thing. the US is NOT a Democracy, but a REPRESENTATIVE/CONSITUTIONAL REPUBLIC. Learn the differecne if you don't know.
I would have liked to know what percent of democrats answered the questions and not just what percent of republicans
Seemed politically biased towards villainizing Republicans.
It was odd when you asked about Democrats getting control of all branches of government in 2020. They did not, as the judicial branch is not controlled by a political party.
This is a decent survey that kept my attention.
The questions surrounding hypothetical acts of violence and non-violent crimes committed by democrats against republicans seemed fairly biased.
I don't really care about politics so I'm probably not the person to give a political survey to
I got a little distracted during the survey, so I think I may have misunderstood some of the questions, but there wasn't an option for me to go back and change them.
Absolutely magnificently perfect! Keep a survey like this coming forever please
I noticed after the fact that I misread one question and would have answered it slightly different.
Barack Obama is the first president of the U.S.? What is that about? Trick question?
Why was I only asked about Republicans and whether they were justified in being violent/immoral? This isn't even true. Especially calling January 6th a "riot".What about democrats, shouldn't I get to provide answers on both sides?
I Eli’s e that the server was very carefully designe.
It was disappointing that the survey showed results from polling of democrats, but not of republicans. There appears to be a strange bias behind that. I suspect Biden may be assassinated and then republicans framed just like the useful idiots who were coaxed into tresspassing by FBI and others on January 6th. I hope that they surveyors honestly publish data showing that republicans are not for violence or Machiavellian ethics. And if not I will pray for them and all others who think lies and violence are justified under any circumstance.
No, the survey was articulate and only showed a slight bias
Seemed a little biased in the Dems favor
My answers on this survey will be confusing. The United States Congress and those within it (Republicans/Democrats/Independents) are the obstacle in the way of progress. It is not party vs party, but people vs the state.
It was a good survey however I personally was not too informed on some topics
No everything was pretty clear and easy to understand.
There were no problems, either technical in nature or in terms of clarity, as far as I could tell.
Some questions seemed too obvious, or like they may have been missing a word- eg. “Barak Obama was the first president” this made it confusing to answer.
There seemed to be a bias in this survey against Democrats.
It took a real dark turn toward the end there.
If questions are too long it gets boring unfortunatelu
I really don't know much about politics so I did my best.
I believe Democrats would be justified in using violence against Republicans_Trump supporters because Republicans/Trump supporters have already declared that violence is ok for them, west meet violence with violence. Peaceful protests have failed.
I am not sure why Republicans were cast in a negative light in this survey.
Yes I do. Every question about Republicans using violence rarely happens: compared to the liberal democrats. In my opinion this survey is biased and skewed.
the percentage questions were weird - I'm not sure if I answered them correctly
The answers to the questions are limited and made them hard to choose.
THE PERCENTAGE OF PEOPLE WHO WILL SAY SOMETHING AS ANSWER IN A POLL AND THE PERCENTAGE OF PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE SOMETHING ARE DIFFERENT THINGS. YOUR QUESTION ABOUT SHUTTING DOWN MSNBC FOR FAKE NEWS WILL YIELD LEAVES OUT CONTEXT. MOST THAT WOULD SUPPORT SUCH A THING WOULD ALSO SUPPORT SHUTTING DOWN CNN AND FOX NEWS. THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA IS COMPOSED OF LIARS WHO TELL DEMONSTRABLE LIES. ALL OF THEM SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN.
It was very straight forward thank you!!
Seemed a little biased towards democrats.
good interesting survey, hope to participate in more like this. thank you
I felt this was biased a bit, but did ask questions that were necessary
What about leftwing violence and extremism?
Jan 6 was not a riot.....Calling it that perpetuates fake news.
I think it is kinda biased that this survey only asked about Republicans about violence.
Good survey don’t agree with the republicans response
Nothing was confusing to me, and I really enjoyed taking this survey.
Feels biased, lots of insurrectionist sympathizing
Making questions about democratically being violent when republicans have proven to be violent and spread fake news
A couple questions really didn’t have an appropriate answer choice.
Your survey was biased against republicans. You made it sound like republicans do violent acts but never mentioned democrats violent acts that happen on the regular. you never mentioned when democrat political figures incite violence with their words.
Felt like some of the questions in the survey were harsh for a political party .
I think some of the questions was really hard to understand
No, It was clear and I was abreast of all topics discussed, I keep current with national and state politics
I feel very sheepish for what I had considered with certain views in regards to mainstream republicans. Still, however, violence should never be acceptable.
a few of the questions were.. different. ;)
A little too long to read the information.
I thought it was biased against republicans
Always focusing on republicans, seems biased. I’m more so independent, and libertarian.
I was confused at some of the questions and thought they were tricks, but I see now it was maybe to see if we were looking information up?
I don't agree to any felonies from either party, but I do believe in freedom or speech even if it upset people. We need to be able to talk truth without shutting down communication. News should be facts not opinions unless they want to say this is my opinion. I can't watch nbc, abc, cnn, due to all the bias opinions given as news.
Same question but reversed was a little confusing
I would like to see the results of this survey
I think this survey is good for people who are interested in politics and it addresses the area of politics in the United States
Thank for the survey was really interesting
I think you guys could have explained some of the questions better because when I read some of the questions I was confused.
all these question are not just yes and no its not that simple ..
There is nothing confusing. We live in a Corporate Oligarchy. NOT a Democracy. There has been 100% Corporate capture of all aspects and level of our Government
I have a real problem that all of these questions were about "Republicans". This crap applies to all not just Republicans, who by the way are less likely to do that bull. Quit being biased
Survey was boring to me. Politics is boring. Most politicians promise the people change but when they get in office they get amnesia
It felt very biased towards liberals, democrats, and the left.
I don't listen to politics too much. Sorry
I made a mistake on the percentage of Republican/Democrat belief questions- I interpreted the question to mean what percent thought the principle was currently upheld rather than important.
When are you going to ask me questions about government issue ?
I misunderstood the questions about what democrats and republicans thought was vital for a democracy and thought you were asking if they felt those things were happening
Yes, it seems this survey was a little biased.
Not problems at all. I always express what I feel and what I see.
This is one of the best surveys I ever have taken. Thank you, and I would like to do with you guys in the future!
Why were their no questions about the terrible behavior of Republicans
No bias noted. Clear and easy to complete
I did not find problems in the survey, everything was very clear
Why didn’t you ask the same question referring to violence about a DEOMCRAP
democrats and republicans should work together for the good of the country they were elected to do, not battle constantly back and forth
I feel like the questions were a little bit biased with only asking if it's "OK" for Democrats to commit crimes or harass Republicans, but not ask if it's "OK" for Republicans to do the same considering that it's mostly Republican identifying Americans that are committing the violence and harassment on most occasions.
I don't think any kinda violence is called for in any way for any reason
I don't have any problems with the survey but I must say violence is never the answer. I don't know why that is so many peoples go to choice. I understand people are angry and fed up with the government but there has to be a better way. Everything has a starting point and that is your local government so why isn't it every repeatedly mentioned for people to start out there and go to there town meetings? Why aren't the local governments forced to make bigger annoucements about when the town meetings are? I can honestly tell you that I have no clue when ours are, and most the town doesn't. There have been complaints that no one shows up to them but the response is no one was informed of when it was until after it was held. Its just my opinion.
It is never ok to Hurt or Intimidate anyone but it is ok if you are a Democrat and that is what happens all the time!!!
I don’t like violence. If there had been a fair election there would not have been violence. I do believe the last election was stolen by democrats.
At times I felt that the questions were a little biased
Seems the questions focused on the republican wrong doings but never asked questions about democrats wrong doing
I think that the survey has valid subjects, that are current to the political reality right now.
I don't agree with the January 6th protest being called a riot as stated in the questions.
It was not too hard I'm into politics so it was pretty easy
Seems to be skewing towards democrats and is biased
I wonder if you asked people who identify as liberals and Democrats the same type of questions.
Why did you forget Democrats committing violent act in pursuing their agenda.
The Barack Obama question was so baffling that I had to read it several times over.
This was a very good survey. I ran into no problems with the survey, and it was not confusing.
We know the Joe Biden and the Democratic Socialist party are anti-Christian anti-American and anti-capitalist
No technical issues, but some questions were unclear. Should Democrats do something illegal or unethical to hurt Republicans. Answer is no, but this does not there was no question that allowed for Democrats to do something (not illegal or unethical) to respond to unfair behavior by Republicans.
The use of trick questions: are they intended to detect lack of attention or lack of knowledge?
Looked up current federal minimum wage to see if it was still 7.25
Loaded questions. VIOLENCE was perpetrated by BLM, Antifa and other infiltrators on 01/06. Trump supporters did NOT. I was there. I KNOW this to be true. This portion of the survey is misleading and will garner false results.
Just the occasional question like world war 1 came after world war 2. That was odd.
Why are you only asking about Republicans. I don’t think Democrats should do anything that the survey asked about
asking the wrong questions in some cases
Republicans lie lie lie so your statistics about what they 'believe' in is meaningless.
Democrats are the ones that wished the economy failed when Trump was in office. Democrats are the ones that do illegal things to win elections. it is NOT republicans.
the "no, never justified..." answers were biased/incorrectly worded. Should have added other answers for "sometimes" or "it depends"
You should do the Republicans question you had from a democratic point of view
Unbelievably biased in favor of democrates
I'm not sure the reason of focusing solely on what it is or isn't ok for democrats to do
I don’t accept the premise of some of the questions.
Interesting and important survey. It should be noted that any Republican who claims to support democracy but support trump's Jan 6th terrorist insurrection is a liar and traitor.
Many of the questions were very flawed and may lead to some poor conclusions for the survey team.
Questions so far seem to be anti republican/conservative.
Seemed to be biased to Replublican violence, but didn't mention any of the Democractic violence.
Some of the questions were confusing or misleading and I'm certain if I had to answer them again I would answer differently. Also, on some of the questions, NONE of the options were the answer I would give. Also, when you asked questions about "threatening messages that would frighten someone" -- what is "threatening"? And some people are more easily frightened than others. TERRIBLE AND UNCLEAR WORDING.
Thank you for allowing me to participate.
None, but just want to say how it is quite important to think about the things asked in this survey
The "Conservate" and "Liberal" specrum axis is outdated and poorly reflects the growing sociatal division better represented by a Top/Bottom axis than a Left/Right axis.
Seems like the writers were trying to be too clever, and much of this will go over the heads of participants
This survey is basically a push poll. The questions were laden with interviewer bias and don’t even make an attempt to hide it. Most of the questions seek to reinforce the bigoted opinions of the pollster ....that is why push polls are not a legitimate form of polling.
Mistakenly clicked that I did not vote in 2020 when I actually did in person. There was no way to go back to fix it
A lot of focus on morality adjacent to politics for what is supposed to be a political survey
I just want to let you know that if it is the truth that Trump won the election than the "insurrection' is justified.
I feel many of these questions provide too little context. For example I know a lot of people whose answers would vary greatly regarding the violence if Jeb Bush won vs Donald Trump again. I understand why you did this but I fail to see how the data is applicable to anything because who knows how people are presenting the questions in their own heads.
I think it was interesting that there were a lot of questions about Republican violence but not Democratic back violence such as Black Lives Matter or antifa.
This survey was very bias against republicans, it was terrible
No I didn't find it confusing or misunderstanding any part of the survey.
Did I miss the break down of an actual poll to the Republican attitudes? Or was there only that information provided about the Democrats? If so, why weren't both sides of info presented??
Democrat are the violent ones, not Republicans. Trump isn’t responsible for Jan 6th and the peoples were justified to protest and go into the capital, violence is not justified but I question who the violent people were since they weren’t part of the overall crowd. Biden is NOT the rightful President.
interesting questions that made me think before I honestly answered my feelings
I was confused why there were questions that Barack Obama was the first president and that WW1 took place after WW2. Was that to make sure I was reading the questions?
It's shocked fewer democrats agreed on those questions you showed me their answers to. I would hope all people would agree that equal protection of the law and other issues are essential
fed minimum wage should be at least $15, not $10, just saying : )
It is a good survey and makes feel like i want to learn about politices
Not a 10p percent familiar with politics
It’s quite biased. The questions and answers act as if there is no other political possibility other than democrats and republicans, which forces people to answer in a way that may not exactly align with what they believe.
When i am asked my opinion i give it, And i always keep up on whats going on in government
I had a minor technical difficulty. In terms of content, I'm curious as to why questions were asked about Democrats interfering with Republicans but did not include questions about the other way around?
No questions about Democrats intimidation of voters.
This survey was extremely slanted toward Pro Democratic party policies and very anti-republican. That is very anti-American.
Please tell me no one actually said yes to any of the last like 10 questions (except maybe the humor one but even then idk)
I accidentally click on I did not vote on past election but I did vote.
Everything was fine i enjoy giving my opinion on different topics.
Some questions I had to re read because they were a bit confusing
Thanks for this survey was very interesting.
You didn’t ask about democrats using force to advance there agenda
most surveys are innovating, inspiring, inspirational and gregarious
No, just don't follow politics much in general
Interesting survey, thank you for giving me the opportunity to voice my opinions on your survey.
Most interesting survey I've taken in a while
THIS SURVEY IS VERY INTERESTIN...THANK YOU!
I did not have any problems with the survey. IUnderstood it very well
If the democrats win the 2024 election we all will be under a communist regime, 1/6 was not a riot. BLM was rioting and you did not ask. I suppose this survey is done by the idiotic communist professors that think that when they win they will be respected.
Survey is easy to follow and understand.
