The remaining respondents chose “other” or “no opinion.”
Never heard of Emerson but I would be asking who paid for that poll? Did they have a vested interest in playing down support? Has the poll been manipulated to get the best charts etc.

Hmm that’s interesting. My impression was that approval was much higher, anecdotal of course tho and not really representative.
