We should be worried, very worried in fact

Pointed at this by Taegan Goddard's Political Wire.

When talking about a poll, Goddard (and other MSM types) like to say that "Most Republicans Reject ‘MAGA’ Label", yet what should worry the majority of Americans is the finding that over 40% of Rs embrace it and the treason that goes with it.

From Goddard -

A new Grinnell College/Selzer & Co. national poll finds 42% of Republicans in the U.S. identify as “MAGA” Republicans, while 58% disavow the term.

Of those who embrace the label, they are disproportionately male (59%), 55 and older (55%), white (77%), lacking a college degree (76%), and make more than $50,000 a year (60%).

 

From the poll itself -

Health of American Democracy, Economy, Abortion Leading Factors Heading into 2022 Election

A new Grinnell College National Poll shows that four in five likely voters in the 2022 general election believe the overall health of American democracy is a major factor in determining how they will vote in the upcoming election. The findings of the poll, conducted Sept. 20-25, 2022, by Selzer & Company, were released Wednesday, Sept. 28, 2022.

Confidence in Voting Process on the Rise

Sixty-four percent of Americans have confidence that votes in the upcoming election will be counted as intended – a number that has risen over the past 18 months (53% in the March 2021 Grinnell College National Poll).


The press release doesn't contain the "MAGA" data, but it's still illuminating.
