According to a recent poll conducted by the Washington Post, ABC News and Ipsos, roughly half of Americans believe that the Trump administration is not committed to protecting key rights and freedoms. The survey found that 50% of respondents think the administration is not prioritizing these values, with significant partisan divisions.
Majorities of Democrats say the Trump administration is not committed to protecting freedom of speech (57%), freedom of the press (53%), a fair criminal justice system (56%), or free and fair elections (56%). Independents also express similar views on most issues. On the other hand, Republicans largely agree that the administration is committed to these values.
However, there are some notable exceptions. A slim majority of Americans believe that the Trump administration is committed to protecting freedom of religion (49%) and the right to own firearms (73%).
The poll highlights stark partisan differences in opinions about the Trump administration's commitment to protecting key rights and freedoms. The survey results suggest a deepening divide between Republicans and Democrats, with most Democrats believing that the administration is not committed to certain values.
Interestingly, Americans are also split on whether they think judges are trying to enforce existing limits or interfere with the Trump administration's legal authority. A majority of Democrats believe that judges are attempting to enforce these limits, while a significant portion of independents hold similar views.
The survey provides valuable insights into public perceptions of the Trump administration and its commitment to key values, shedding light on the ongoing partisan divisions in American politics.
