Contributing sentiments towards policy:

43% : Our society is not like it was before Trump became president in 2017.
31% : Quoting one expert who says comparing how often Trump says something outrageous and how often Democrats say something outrageous is "meaningless" doesn't give you coverage to imply that the sides are equal.
19% : To the editor: Trump narrowly escaped being killed in July.
16% : To the editor: Trump uttered a preposterous lie about the Haitian community in an Ohio town during his debate with Vice President Kamala Harris, which had more than 67 million viewers.
