The survey conducted on Monday and Tuesday found 64% of American adults were „sympathetic to people who are out protesting right now,“ while 27% said they were not and 9% were unsure.

The poll underscored the political risks for Trump, who has adopted a hardline approach to the protests and threatened to deploy the U.S. military to quell violent dissent. The Republican president faces Democrat Joe Biden in November‘s election.
