    Two-Thirds Of Americans Don’t Want To Defund Police: Poll

    A Yahoo/YouGov poll conducted between May 29 and 30 found that 16% of 1,060 Americans supported less funding to law enforcement while 65% oppose the movement. The survey had a +/-4.3% margin of error.

    Democratic respondents majorly approved of defunding the police, with 55% of Democratic respondents agreeing, and 59% agreeing with reallocating funds to programs dealing with mental health, housing and education, ABC News reported.

    Republicans widely disapproved of defunding the police at 89%, and 86% of Republican respondents opposed the reallocation of funding, the poll found;

    Black Americans’ answers varied slightly, as 57% supported the movement to defund the police and 64% supported allocating the money to community programs, according to ABC News.

    Almost three in four white Americans and 57% of Hispanic Americans are opposed to defunding law enforcement, and two-thirds of white Americans and 58% of Hispanic Americans are against reallocating funds.
