A new poll indicates a wave of change in how Americans view the police since President Trump took office.
A new Rasmussen Reports poll states:
“A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that just 43% of Likely U.S. Voters think there is a war on police in America today, down from 51% in 2016 and 58% a year earlier.”
When former president Barack Obama was in office, many Americans thought there was a war on police.
During Obama’s tenure, violent riots broke out in multiple American cities, and many of those riots featured violence directed toward police officers. (RELATED: Growing Number Of Race Riots Leave A Dark Mark On Obama’s Legacy)
After a series of highly politicized police shootings in 2016, black nationalist Micah Xavier Johnson opened fire on a protest in Dallas, Texas, killing five police officers. (RELATED: BLM Anti-Trump Protest In Seattle: ‘We Need To Start Killing People’)
