A poll shows that when questioned, Democrats and Leftists are overall way off.
The Question asked "How many unarmed black men were killed by police in 2019"
The options to answer were:
1. About 10
2. About 100
3. About 1,000
4. About 10,000
5. More than 10,000
The correct answer is about 10.
As far as those polled?
In regards to being correct, and answering "about 10",
Conservative 46%
Very Conservative 45%
Moderate 34%
Liberal 22%
Very Liberal 16%
So obviously, as far as having the data correct, Conservatives are far more informed and accurate to base their opinions on the subject. That's not in dispute.
But, it gets crazy when you see how exaggerated the left's answers are.
In regards to thinking that About 10,000 or more unarmed black men are killed by police in 2019 (thousands of times higher than the actual number)
Very Liberal 22%
Liberal 14%
Moderate 9%
Very Conservative 7%
Conservative 4%
That's a shocking statistic. One out of every 4 leftists thinks the cops killed 10,000 unarmed black people in 2019, when the answer is around 10.
Being Correct on the data:
The Right 91
The Left 38
Being extremely wrong on the data:
The Right 11
The Left 36
1. Why are Leftists and Democrats so wrong?
2. Is it alarming to those on the left that so many of you are so wrong?
