NY Post poll shows progressives’ push to defund NYPD not in line with Dem voters
NY Post
Progressive proponents of defunding the NYPD are out of touch with the city’s Democratic electorate — with worries about crime and safety the greatest among the party’s lower-income and minority voters, a poll commissioned by The Post has found.
Opposition to last year’s $1 billion NYPD budget cut was also strongest in the crime-ridden Bronx, where more than 60 percent of respondents said they disapproved of the move by the City Council and Mayor Bill de Blasio. A Brooklyn cop said of the results, “It doesn’t surprise me that the politicians don’t know what the people of the city really want.”More Related News
