Poll Finds Vast Gaps in Basic Views on Gender, Race, Religion and Politics

An almost unfathomable gap divides public attitudes on basic issues involving gender, race, religion and politics in America, fueled by dramatic ideological and partisan divisions that offer the prospect of more of the bitter political battles that played out in Washington this month.

A new ABC News/Fusion poll, marking the launch of the Fusion television network, finds vast differences among groups in trust in government, immigration policy and beyond, including basic views on issues such as the role of religion and the value of diversity in politics, treatment of women in the workplace and the opportunities afforded to minorities in society more broadly.

While these issues divide a variety of Americans, this poll, produced for ABC and Fusion by Langer Research Associates, finds that the gaps in nearly all cases are largest among partisan and ideological groups – so enormous and so fundamental that they seem to constitute visions of two distinctly different Americas.

The left trusts the government and prefer identity politics. There is the 51% support for illegal aliens, which I find dubious. I call BS on this.  :bs:

ABC and Fusion, yeah, I'm sure THAT started out from a neutral and unbiased quest for facts.

One of the replies on my other site said they thought my views were so out of the mainstream as to be extraterrestrial. I had to agree that our opinions were so far apart that there seemed to be no room for any common ground.
Almost nothing a lib says has any effect on me. I am guessing the same is true of them. They refuse to be swayed by anything.
There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.
