COVID DELTA—63% Agree Government Should Take no Action to Address New Delta Variant, Citizens Can Make Personal Decisions on How to Respond
(Austin, TX—June 30, 2021) Convention of States Action, in partnership with The Trafalgar Group—one of America’s most accurate pollsters in 2016, 2018 and 2020—is releasing the results of a new national survey. Results were from surveys conducted June 23rd thru June 26th of over 1,000 likely 2022 election voters.
“To those seeking to remain in public office or be elected to public office, the message from voters is absolutely clear. Americans overwhelmingly believe the current leadership in DC is out-of-control and oppressive, doing whatever they want with no regard to what the people want, and should reverse direction immediately, ” said Mark Meckler, President of Convention of States Action. “Americans on the left and right want to see an expansion of personal freedom and want the federal government to stay out of their lives. The strong reaction against any COVID-19 Delta mandates is clear evidence of that fact.”
