00:00:11.339 --> 00:00:15.609
I think this has been really a long time coming

2
00:00:15.609 --> 00:00:17.570
for Democrats, and we saw them make a lot

3
00:00:17.570 --> 00:00:20.440
of improvements in 2018. And that was two years

4
00:00:20.440 --> 00:00:23.250
after the first women's march, or roughly two years

5
00:00:23.250 --> 00:00:27.199
after the first women's march, very much a reaction

6
00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:30.760
to President Trump, but also an improvement on their

7
00:00:30.760 --> 00:00:33.329
end. Remember, President Obama got a lot of

8
00:00:33.329 --> 00:00:37.909
criticism from Democrats for not focusing too much on the

9
00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:42.649
state level races. And maybe you saw that Republicans

10
00:00:42.649 --> 00:00:46.090
continue to hold on to those seats. Republicans that

11
00:00:46.090 --> 00:00:48.399
the tea Party movement movement, for example, they

12
00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:53.549
have in general been much better historically at grassroots organizing

13
00:00:53.560 --> 00:00:55.799
, then Democrats have. Like I said, it's

14
00:00:55.909 --> 00:00:58.850
just tea party movement. That's all changing, I

15
00:00:58.850 --> 00:01:00.340
would say right now because he saw movements like the

16
00:01:00.340 --> 00:01:03.140
women's march and now, maybe in the broader black

17
00:01:03.150 --> 00:01:30.530
lives matter movement, galvanizing Democrats as well. So

18
00:01:30.530 --> 00:01:34.579
when you just a favorability of institutions as well as

19
00:01:34.590 --> 00:01:38.640
individuals, it will depend on the political and the

20
00:01:38.650 --> 00:01:42.180
cultural climate at the time. And certainly current evens

21
00:01:42.180 --> 00:01:47.969
will impact perceptions, opinions and how people will evaluate

22
00:01:47.969 --> 00:01:52.409
the job. Performers of that institution known our individual

23
00:01:52.579 --> 00:01:55.489
, and that's what you see here with law enforcement

24
00:01:55.769 --> 00:02:00.040
, because even though they present a total number in

25
00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:02.459
some communities, you may have a different perception.

26
00:02:02.620 --> 00:02:06.090
It might be if they were. Villages are higher

27
00:02:06.090 --> 00:02:07.389
, negatives are high, you don't knows. It

28
00:02:07.389 --> 00:02:10.979
depends on the communities. And naturally we did see

29
00:02:10.979 --> 00:02:15.460
a difference by race and party affiliation, but race

30
00:02:15.469 --> 00:02:20.080
in particular. And that's been historic. That has

31
00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:23.669
not changed for decades. In terms of the different

32
00:02:23.669 --> 00:02:30.349
experiences between African Americans and whites and law enforcement,

33
00:02:30.210 --> 00:02:34.810
we see that a majority of Americans approve of the

34
00:02:34.810 --> 00:02:38.810
job police air doing. We see something similar in

35
00:02:38.810 --> 00:02:44.840
our Axios Ipsos poll, where most Americans trust local

36
00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:49.750
police and law enforcement. However, there there are

37
00:02:49.750 --> 00:02:53.710
really huge racial disparities on this issue, So across

38
00:02:53.710 --> 00:02:58.000
the board you have most Americans saying that they trust

39
00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:00.520
the police. Now there are two groups in this

40
00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:01.800
poll on we've seen in our polling as well,

41
00:03:01.810 --> 00:03:07.139
where this is not the case. Number one is

42
00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:12.650
black or African Americans, and most black Americans do

43
00:03:12.650 --> 00:03:15.509
not approve of the job that police air doing.

44
00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:19.219
Do not trust the police. There's there's different ways

45
00:03:19.219 --> 00:03:23.000
of asking this question. Whereas most white Americans approve

46
00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:27.129
of the job they're doing, and there's huge differences

47
00:03:27.449 --> 00:03:30.810
based on your race or ethnicity. And then the

48
00:03:30.810 --> 00:03:34.409
second group is younger Americans. And the reason that

49
00:03:34.409 --> 00:03:36.569
I think that's really interesting. You know, we

50
00:03:36.569 --> 00:03:42.250
see most Americans under age 35 in this poll do

51
00:03:42.250 --> 00:03:45.199
not approve of the police. And I think it's

52
00:03:45.199 --> 00:03:49.050
interesting because as thes protests continue, toe happen across

53
00:03:49.050 --> 00:03:53.199
the country, obviously drawing attention Teoh racism and racial

54
00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:57.599
inequities in this country. Many of the protesters are

55
00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:00.520
young people are millennials and Gen Z, and you

56
00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:03.259
can see from this polling from polling that Ipsos is

57
00:04:03.259 --> 00:04:08.590
done and other public polling available. That and most

58
00:04:08.599 --> 00:04:12.620
young Americans who are actively involved in these protests do

59
00:04:12.620 --> 00:04:14.550
not approve of the police right now, either.

60
00:04:23.170 --> 00:04:26.410
When it comes to politicians, the more local and

61
00:04:26.410 --> 00:04:29.779
the more close to the individual you get, the

62
00:04:29.779 --> 00:04:32.350
more favourable people feel. So, generally speaking,

63
00:04:32.430 --> 00:04:35.129
I think people are going to have more positive views

64
00:04:35.139 --> 00:04:41.970
about your local or your state politician compared to your

65
00:04:41.970 --> 00:04:44.970
representative in D. C. And then at the

66
00:04:44.980 --> 00:04:47.399
other end of the spectrum, the lowest end is

67
00:04:47.399 --> 00:04:50.829
approval of Congress as a whole, as much as

68
00:04:50.829 --> 00:04:55.300
you can localize things. People are going to feel

69
00:04:55.300 --> 00:05:00.430
better about that. From a political standpoint, the

70
00:05:00.620 --> 00:05:02.379
dealer with black lives matter movement. It does.

71
00:05:02.389 --> 00:05:04.810
It's in a way, very local, because when

72
00:05:04.810 --> 00:05:08.819
you go and vote in local races, you're electing

73
00:05:08.819 --> 00:05:12.430
your sheriff's. Your prosecutors such and these people have

74
00:05:12.439 --> 00:05:14.810
much more. They're very close to what's happening.

75
00:05:14.810 --> 00:05:18.899
It's in these communities compared to your average US Congress

76
00:05:18.899 --> 00:05:23.040
person war senator. So I think you're going to

77
00:05:23.040 --> 00:05:26.629
see a lot more calls. A lot more focus

78
00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:30.850
on electing these more local state officials in becoming
