Poll: Vast Majority of Voters Want Halt to Chinese Activity Near U.S. Military Bases
(Austin, TX—February 28, 2023) Convention of States Action, in partnership with The Trafalgar Group—one of America’s most accurate pollsters in 2016, 2018, 2020, and 2021—is releasing the results of a new national survey. Results were from surveys conducted February 22nd through February 23rd of over 1,000 likely general election voters.
“Americans understand the threat from China and the intentions of the Chinese Communist Party. That’s why we’re starting to see elected leaders across America taking active steps to curb CCP activity near U.S. military bases. While this should have been done a long time ago, this data verifies that—at long last—the legislative efforts underway have the overwhelming support of the public,” said Mark Meckler, President of Convention of States. “President Biden’s actions towards China are a microcosm of what we see throughout the U.S. government–a mixture of incompetence, negligence, and questionable business dealings with Chinese interests– creating an environment that is jeopardizing America’s sovereignty, safety, and standing on the world stage. Americans are not allowed to own property in China. It seems logical that the reciprocal should be true here, and seems even more self-evident for property near military bases.”
