I've seen polls recently that break out specific networks vs "the media" and there's a huge range - Reagen Jul 20, 12:56 1
- I've seen some of those as well, though not broken out by party and certainly not when overlayed with religious institutions. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Jul 20, 13:04
The attached chart for the poll above... -- (pic) - Name Withheld by Request Jul 20, 12:51 [Attachment] 25
- Also, the US is still a very religious nation - not sure why positive Dem support should be a surprise. -- nm - Reagen Jul 20, 12:57 2
  - Just ahead of news media was the surprise there. Not the overall number because I agree. (Wonder what ours would look like...) -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Jul 20, 13:14

  - It's not surprising to me given the high profile stories of "conservative" speakers being barred/protested (rioted) against at college campuses in - IrishStephen Jul 20, 13:02 12

      - Yes, Jack, it's always about the person whose opinion you disagree with being an asshole. - IrishStephen Jul 20, 13:14 8

        Yes Jack, we certainly have a problem with conservatives shutting down speech they disagree with on college campuses, which is what we were talking - IrishStephen Jul 20, 13:43 6

        Don't forget dismissive, Jack! - IrishStephen Jul 20, 14:11 4

        Nah, I'm pretty sure that it's your overinflated ego that's oozing that slime. -- nm - IrishStephen Jul 20, 15:35
    - The article that most horrified me recently was this story: Republicans Increasingly Say Higher Education Has A Negative Impact On The U.S. -- (link) - Andie Jul 20, 13:04 1
      - It cites the poll I linked to above. (I had just noticed it online.) -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Jul 20, 13:16
  - I think it's impossible to parse that one effectively based on this data alone. - Name Withheld by Request Jul 20, 12:55 6

      - No, I wasn't trying to sandbag your comment. It's fair. It was just a fresh anecdote for me as it was just last night. -- (edited) - Name Withheld by Request Jul 20, 13:02 4

        I think it's too complicated to sum it up as straight education though. I would bet that if one asked about STEM programs vs. liberal arts, that.... -- (edited) - Name Withheld by Request Jul 20, 13:13 1
