POLL: Majority Don’t Find Anthem Kneeling Unpatriotic

Axios reports:

A new Quinnipiac University poll released on Thursday found that the majority of U.S. voters — 58% — don’t find kneeling by NFL players during the national anthem unpatriotic. The majority of Republicans (70%) find the protest unpatriotic, opposed to 23% who don’t. When it comes to athletes’ right to protest, 82% of Democrats say they do have the right on the playing field or court — while 81% of Republicans say they do not. 51% of voters support the NFL’s new policy that requires players on the field to stand for the anthem.

From the same poll:



Roseanne Barr gets a 51 percent unfavorable rating from American voters, with 15 percent favorable and 29 percent who haven’t heard enough about her to form an opinion of her.

Disagreeing with the decision are Republicans 50–28 percent and white voters with no college degree 43–35 percent. White men are divided as 41 percent agree and 40 percent disagree.
