Washington Examiner: Eight in 10 want police funding increased or maintained: Sheriffs
The American public overwhelmingly wants funding for police to be increased or maintained, according to a new poll that shows people having strong support for first responders.
In a new survey for the National Sheriffs Association and provided exclusively to Secrets, 53% called for increased funding for law enforcement. Another 26% want to maintain current spending, and 11% want a decrease.
It also backed the top job of police officers: arresting and jailing criminals.

WNU Editor: So much for the overwhelming media narrative that there is a public push for "defunding" the police .... Do Americans Want To Defund The Police? (June 5, 2020). And even though the above poll was done for law enforcement (National Sheriffs Association), I am willing to bet that support for the police is over 90%. This is such a winning issue for Republicans, I do not understand why they are not embracing it like President Trump has.
Update: This is why Hispanics will not support defunding the police .... 'Defund the police' creating deep rift between two key Dem constituencies, Hispanics and blacks (American Interest). Like myself, many have left countries that do not have a police force, and if they do, it is either small, ineffective, or corrupt. We know too well on what the impact will be if police forces are defunded or abolished.
Update #2: Basically nobody supports cutting funding for police. According to this YouGov poll, just 16% of Democrats, 15% of Republicans, and 17% of Independents support funding cuts.
Glenn Reynolds is right about this .... This is no doubt why people are rushing forward to tell us that “defunding” doesn’t mean funding cuts, and “abolishing the police” doesn’t mean getting rid of the police.
