Poll: Voters Disapprove of AG Merrick Garland Directing FBI to Investigate Parents at School Board Meetings
74.2% of Voters Registering Opinion on Poll Oppose Garland’s Directing the FBI to Investigate Parents Attending School Board Meetings, While 25.8% Support
(Austin, TX—October 21, 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 October 15th through October 18th of over 1,000 likely 2022 election voters.
“The very idea that our Attorney General would direct our nation’s federal law enforcement to investigate everyday moms and dads who are rightly concerned about their children’s education is shocking and hard to fathom. These are the tactics of totalitarians in places like China and North Korea, not here in America,” said Mark Meckler, President of Convention of States Action. “This explains the findings in this poll, where one can plainly see that those who are aware that Merrick Garland made this announcement oppose him by large majorities, while there’s a group who marked ‘not sure’ because they don’t know about his announcement or don’t know enough about it. The nearly 20 percent overall who support Garland’s actions against parents are consistent throughout all of our polls, in which we see that roughly this percentage of voters will support practically anything the Democrats support. A scary reality in these challenging times.”
