Exclusive: A majority of Americans sympathize with nationwide protests over the death of George Floyd and disapprove of Trump's response to the unrest, a Reuters/Ipsos poll shows

NEW YORK - A majority of Americans sympathize with nationwide protests over the death of an unarmed black man in police custody and disapprove of President Donald Trump’s response to the unrest, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Tuesday.

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. A separate Reuters/Ipsos poll found that Biden’s lead over Trump among registered voters expanded to 10 percentage points - the biggest margin since the former vice president became his party’s presumptive nominee in early April.

Even in rural and suburban areas largely unaffected by the demonstrations, most people expressed support. A little more than half of rural residents said they were sympathetic to the protesters, while seven out of 10 suburbanites agreed.

So your readers, who are absorbing the spin you are putting out day after day, agree with you? Color me shocked.

Well find an alternative and remove him. See if Obama will come out of retirement for a short period, or set up a cross party head of states to work things out

Than the US is dead (or the poll is fake)

LOL. Was Reuters ever a respectable news service which then became infected with globalist anti-democracy & Trump Derangement Syndrome, or was it just so boring that no-one realised it was FakeNews ScumMedia. Media always the same faces, the same agenda, the same backgounds

sunshinek67 Trump failed in the handling of the coronavirus and he’s failing in the handling of this. His stupidity and racism won’t allow him to win.

What about the riots, destruction of property and looting, do they agree with that too?

Your poll is fake

No, the majority of Americans know the killing of George Floyd was wrong and Murder and hate the rioting and looting

What about the looting and rioting? Twisted polling again.

Most people are also smart enough to blame mass media and political operatives for inflaming the situation for political gain . The protests have gone on too long . End it now or pay the price in November

Are you guys going to post the video of one of your reporters getting his ass beaten by 'protesters'?

First the virus came in to weaken the country, kill off the vulnerable to raise the death toll and cause massive job losses. Then on cue the race baiting and riots courtesy of their antifa minions. I'll never forgive the Democrats and the media for destroying this country.

Ppl want to see those cops in jail including the 3 that watched while GF was murdered but we don’t condone looting , riots or ongoing protest which has paralyzed communities. I blame Minnesota gov and prosecutors for unrest for not arrest all 4 cops immediately

FakeNews is that the same polls that said he was going to loose his election in 2016? Cause if it is I’ll pass! Lol

The first demo was right. But the destroyers are criminals.

Thank god. It’s just bots and radical conservatives foaming at the mouth on twitter then.

I call BULLSHITE 💩 💩

Black and White lives matter!!! Sou Antifacista, Antisocialista, Antinazista, Anticomunista, Anticonservador!!!!

And this was before he gassed priests so he could get a photo op.

The certainly do in my little town, Amesbury, MA BlackLivesMatter NoJusticeNoPeace PowerToThePeople TrumpOut2020 My Hope was restored

Do a poll asking if they support looting and burning down of buildings and if a president's actions of protecting those buildings is OK

Trump proved that he is racist.

The bunkerboy identify his people as lowlifes and losers.

Now is the time for all non violent protesters to vote out GOP legislators up for re-election remember they backed trumpet the Putin puppet trump doesn’t care about the pandemic read his tweets all he cares is getting re-elected we can get him and McConnell !!106462++ deaths?!

therealcpeace

🤪😁😂🤣

same as majority supported Clinton last time

Is sanity prevailing in the US? Are my eyes deceiving me? I can only hope this us true. 💪🏻🇺🇸.

Yes because Trump is Racist

FakeNewsMedia

What kind of president would have people tear gassed to post for a picture seriously TrumpIsAnIdiot TrumpsACoward

Of course they sympathize, as do I but the looting? The violence spilling out into communities? This is awful. I hope it calms down and gets back to what this about, police brutality. Not giving them a reason to be brutal.

No way this is truec

these peoples so crazy about George Floyd but if your mother die not care about her, Stop Crazy go home and stay safe

David Dorn, George Floyd. Protect local business. BlackLivesMatter

of course they do. but....well, i think it doesn't prove Biden is a better candidate.

What's with the Russian partnership

Your report is misleading the readers. Majority people stand with peaceful protests but against criminal behaviors.

Fake polls.

comical situation: US President threatens US with US troops

Reuters/Ipsos/TASS?

Another poll says otherwise w 71% saying the Nat Guard should be used to stop the rioting.

Immediate substantial monetary reparations for African Americans, who have been mistreated and have suffered profusely since America Slavery in the United States would depict a rightful, geniune legal remedy for equal justice in this country.

fake news

This poll is as fake as their protest.

Ha gayret

Are these the same pollsters who had Hillary winning easily?

Do those majority approve riots & looting as well ?

Bye bye, Trump .

I sympathize with protesters; but find vandalism, looting, and violence impermissible. The Floyd family deserve respect; and for their son, brother, and father, to be remembered for who he was and not for the terror brought by some to our streets.

Majority of the world, you mean.

ALL THESE FUCK FACES ARE BRAIWASHED DEMOCRATS AND THEY ARE DOING THIS ON PURPOSE BECAUSE THEY LOST TO TRUMP. THEY ARE GOING TO DESTRYOY THE UNITED STATES.🧐

The protests are fine. Everyone with a brain condemns the brutal actions of the police officers in George Floyd's death. It's the rioting, looting, arson, assault and murder that are upsetting people. This is not something we need a poll to determine.

😢

That conflicts with other polls of 60% who want military force use.

Outside police shooting boards commissions needed indepedent of policing structures beyond tampering by Chief or Commissioner. Civilian agencies work successful in many jurisdictions

Trump 2020! Stop riots , looting, violence .

WhiteHouse don't need this cowardly in main chair.A anti-democratic,violent,terrorist and fascist. realDonaldTrump is increasingly dangerous and lost in the statements.Shows psychological and political imbalance.Only a miracle save. America needs managerial changes urgent.

Trump should be arrested.

realDonaldTrump

If anyone believes this article they deserve to be told lies. Its so obvious now!

Kids have been out of school since March. They’re bored and have to release their energy. All decent parents rein in your kids.

I hope that it is a peaceful demonstration, not violence.

LOL. Fake News.

anti-American reuters up to it again with fake news. if you talked to the real majority of Americans, you will find we have now even lower empathy and actually detest all involved.

The four police officers must rot in jail

Protesters remain very unclear of their demands. The officer is in jail under charges of murder. Vague calls for 'justice' don't create an arena for conversation. If this continues too long, they'll lose their momentum as people ignore them like they would a petulant child.

The amswer be her HISTORY be critic is the timd. My respects for USA. Juliojosecabre1

You the Americans you want to recover your real country and you are right ! Never give up. The battle will be hard.

Feed an house poor. Give minorities great educations.

Protestors yes, the F’N animals looting , hell no!!

If our President showed ANY real heart, came out last week at a Press Conference WITHOUT campaigning, talked with compassionate remorse, truly felt sorry for the trouble America seems to be in, the riots would not have started. NO LEADERSHIP IN AMERICA NOW!

Oh God, the majority? Where are you getting this, from mainstream media? It's unlikely. You have to realize your narrative was wrong in 2016. You really need to analyze your source. Because right now you sound like a parrot.

Well, then the MSM must be doing a good job, because THAT is NOT what my two eyes have seen!

I hope the protesters stay with it until legislation is passed and the 4 police officers are charged. I’m sick of racism wreaking havoc on our society, and racist people hiding behind a police badges while the “good” cops participate in a code of silence like mobsters.

where did it say a majority of Americans disapprove of Trump's response?

I support the protesters. I do not support the looters.

Only CONFUSED DEMOCRATS

But Americans back state Governors and city mayors tramping down the protestors? Governors and Mayors, with their local Police and the states National Guard should have things well in hand by the end of June without Federal assistance.

DavidDorn say his name! You will NEVER have justice or peace when you keep this bullshit up. People dying but muh drumpf is racist ! BlackLivesMatter 🖕🏻🖕🏻
