Democrats defeated again

[jacksonlamb]

I don't really care. Let them support whatever they want, but the Dem congress is asking for trouble for them.

You know the Act is not going to pass.

 

[protectionist]

You know the Act is not going to pass.

You don't want it to ?

 

[jacksonlamb]

You don't want it too?

Of course not, and they are in my favor. May they be in yours but not on this.

 

[protectionist]

Well then you are contrary to 83% of the American people.

They are in favor of safe voting, not the SAVE Act. You know that. It's toast.

Yes, voter ID, not the SAVE Act.

Independent academic polling (UMass Amherst, March 20–25, 2026)​

This is the most methodologically transparent poll available:

• 51% support the SAVE Act
• 31% oppose
• 18% unsure
• 64% support requiring a government‑issued photo ID to vote

This shows a much more divided electorate than the White House numbers.

Across all sources:

Poll Source	Support for SAVE Act	Notes
White House (March 2026)	71%	Administration‑aligned; highest support numbers.
UMass Amherst (Mar 20–25, 2026)	51%	Independent academic poll; shows a divided nation.
PolitiFact review (Apr 2026)	Mixed	Notes that newer polls show more division.

Bottom line:

• Voter ID enjoys broad support across polls.
• The SAVE Act itself has majority support in some polls, but independent polling shows the country is split, with support hovering around 50–55%

Generally polls are Democrat polls. We all learned that in November 2016. Ho hum.

What a silly remark. They are based on protocol not on the type of those being surveyed.

50% may want the SAVE Act, no more, and it is falling.

You don't get it. Even the pre 2016 election polls didn't teach you anything. Of course it is who is being surveyed, that creates the results.

 

[jacksonlamb]

And those being surveyed are saying 50% maybe agree.
