Progressive voters more likely than conservatives to say committed to peaceful coexistence, poll
Voters overall notably more likely to self-identify as conservative.
Self-identified progressive voters are strikingly more likely than conservative ones to claim a commitment to peaceful co-existence with those with whom they disagree, according to a new Just the News Daily Poll with Scott Rasmussen.
When asked simple where they fell along the political spectrum, respondents were significantly more likely to identify as conservative (42%) compared to liberal (30%).
Yet when asked if they were "personally committed to coexisting peacefully in mutual tolerance" with individuals on the other end of that spectrum, the two groups had strikingly different responses: 84% of progressives said they were committed to that principal, while just 67% of conservatives did.
The lopsided response comes amid an ongoing debate surrounding "cancel culture," a phenomenon in which individuals are targeted – very often by progressives – for harassment, career sabotage and other personal attacks because of their perceived prejudice and/or non-progressive beliefs.
The survey of 1,200 registered voters was conducted by Rasmussen using a mixed mode approach from March 4-6, 2021.
