Democrats' Defund-the-Police Debacle | RealClearPolitics

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

51% : That means the left's push to slash police funding has become a major electoral liability for mainstream Democrats, both nationally and locally.
37% : Next November, voters will bury them even deeper if their main concerns are rising crime and lawlessness on the southern border.
30% : Voters realize that strident demands to cut police budgets, eliminate cash bail, and reduce serious crime to misdemeanors are elements of a larger progressive wish list that would limit all facets of law enforcement and criminal punishment.
14% : Even though party leaders, including Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, and Chuck Schumer, have repeatedly tried to distance themselves from progressive demands to cut police budgets, they haven't succeeded in the public eye, at least not yet.
