The majority wants a mask mandate on transportation

A majority of people in the U.S. favored requiring people on planes, trains and buses to wear masks, according to a new poll that was conducted in all 50 states right before a federal judge struck down the mask mandate on planes and public transit.https://t.co/1Bb1exVIgA

Oh hey, an actual poll:

"56% of Americans favor requiring people on planes, trains and public transportation to wear masks, compared with 24% opposed and 20% who say they’re neither in favor nor opposed." https://t.co/WjQueG0oxR

He’s right – the Trump cult doesn’t care about what most people think

Lots of these issue polls that purport to show continued support for various NPIs. So show me one (1) politician who has harmed his political position by lifting them. Issue polls are super unreliable, acquiescence bias all the way down. https://t.co/SuJQOLmN4e

As you may know, efforts to ban certain books in schools and libraries are spreading in the United States. Do you think these efforts are more about the content of the books or more about politics?

Poll on how Black history is taught as part of US history

Republican numbers are pathetic.

Did US history you were taught in school reflect a full and accurate account of role of African Americans or fall short via new Quinnipiac poll:

All Americans:
27% full account
66% fell short

Republicans:
47% full account
46% fell short

Black:
3% full account

Polls show support for masks

Yet again, the basic thing driving changes in US society that are so often lamented in the op-ed pages – everything from "public masking" to "social disruption" – is clearly fear of pandemic disease, not fear of oppressive government mandates. https://t.co/Huxgi4J0st
