Readers visiting WNA member websites and social platforms from June 10 to 23 were asked whether they supported the protests sparked by the death of George Floyd. Out of 165 respondents, 66% said yes, while 34% said no, they do not support the protests.
The full question and results can be found below:
Do you support the recent protests sparked by the death of George Floyd?
- Yes: 109
- No: 56
While the sample size for our poll questions remains small, the results can still offer members a starting point for writing their own stories. As more members post the poll questions and engagement increases, we hope to offer more statistically significant results.
A breakdown of the data, which includes respondent demographics like age and sex, can be downloaded here. (The data provided here includes information for all verified respondents. Unverified respondents are those who either chose not to give their full name or could not be verified by Polco through local voter registration files or other verification lists.)
