Despite the predictable outrage from the Right, polling from YouGov finds that a U.S. majority is in favor of the recent decision by the Colorado Supreme Court that former President Donald Trump is not Constitutionally eligible for appearing on ballots in the state, though that high court in the Western state held off their ruling…
YouGov is a volunteer based, reward based, anonymous polling website.
If anyone wants to claim they are a 91 year old martian and just rapid fire clicks through these polls to earn gift cards or whatever, you can sign up within a minute with just an email to verify you. I just did out of curiosity. And they use pretty questionable weighted methodology.
but YouGov is usually the “statistics” for multiple posts of the front page of Lemmy every day.
Fuck the republican traitor filth.
It makes sense, he’s lost the popular vote twice after all.
That’s nice, it’s too bad that the GOP doesn’t care what the will of people is. Now some GOP members in CO are talking about having Biden removed from the ballet.
I just hope that since Trump lost in 2020, that his chances to winning this time are even lower. I don’t like Biden a ton either, but he’s leaps and bounds better then Trump in every regard. It isn’t like Trump has done anything since 2020 to win back any of those “on the fence” voters. I’d just prefer if Trump wasn’t even an option though, to be on the safe side.

They quite literally can’t. He’s an American citizen, over 35 years of age & hasn’t engaged in Insurrection or Treason.
It’s all bluster from #fascist sympathizers trying to rile up their idiot supporters & donations. The appropriate response is ridiculing them.

Trump got removed because crimes.
If they try to remove Biden it will just be because he’s a democrat. If you replace Biden with someone else they’d just remove them as well.
I’m against disqualifying candidates just because someone on Lemmy didn’t like them.
I wonder if the courts would be held responsible seeing as how miscarriages are charged with things like murder, manslaughter, and mishandling a corpse.
Unfortunately the US is subject to minority rule 🙄
Large share of US supports shooting trump into the sun
Off hand, I’d say about 81,283,501 of them.
That’s a big hand
One interesting finding from the YouGov poll this article cites, but doesn’t mention, is that there’s a clear correlation between age and opinion on this question. Specifically, the poll found that older people were more likely to approve of Trump being removed from ballots for violating the 14th amendment compared to young people. Maybe it’s my bias, but that result is surprising to me.
Anyway, just thought it deserved pointing out.
I swear half my comments on Lemmy are explaining that YouGov polls are meaningless, but people keep posting them because they have titles, or the article have titles they like.
So many YouGov polls here. it’s wild
