Majority opposes Trump administration demand that schools reopen: poll

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Majorities in a new poll oppose both the Trump administration's demand that schools fully reopen in the fall and the president's ultimatum that he will cut funding for schools that fail to do so.

The Politico/Morning Consult survey released early Wednesday found 53 percent of voters are somewhat or strongly opposed to reopening day cares or K-12 schools in the fall, and 50 percent oppose opening universities and colleges. Thirty-eight either somewhat or strongly support reopening day cares or K-12 schools, while 40 percent somewhat or strongly support opening universities and colleges.

Sixty-five percent also oppose cutting funding to those schools that do not reopen, compared to 22 percent who support the idea. Voters were nearly evenly split on whether they thought the push to reopen schools was in hopes of benefiting the economy (41 percent) or because it would benefit students' learning (43 percent).

Pollsters surveyed 1,992 registered voters from July 10-July 12. The poll has a 2-point margin of error.

2. That's somewhat depressing.

I hoped a much larger majority would oppose reopening schools.

3. We have one

Grand Kid left in School. And there is no way in hell she will be attending any time soon. Her Parents have set up a Video network just in case. Her Father is more than capable of monitoring her Class work. Worse case,they will Home School which they as well as us detest in the worse way.

4. Well, praise be.
