Let's talk about understanding term polling....


If you really want a poll to influence a narrative, have Frank Luntz do a focus group.  MAGA and BLM are not really organizations - they are movements with diffuse leadership from many points. MAGA is the grass roots iteration of the Astro-Turfed Tea Party - which is a Koch Industry product that wholly owns the Republican Party at the local level. This is going to be readily visible when Nikki Haley's campaign starts running at full steam.

MAGA is actually an egalitarian movement - as egalitarian is described as a sect with an enemy other but broad equality within it. Think the Reign of Terror or Pol Pot. Trump liberated people from the Tyranny of Good Behavior that was required in the post-civil rights world in HR Departments and classrooms everywhere that polite behavior and justice were mandated. MAGA is for people who were not raised right.
