When Republicans and Trump revoked the internet privacy rules established last year, it was done not only in opposition to Democrats but to Republican voters everywhere.
But ordinary Americans aren't split on the issue, according to a Huffington Post/YouGov survey that found 72 percent of Republicans and 72 percent of Democrats opposed the rollback.
"[E]ven identifying the bill as a GOP proposal isn’t enough to win it intra-party support," Huffington Post wrote. "Told that Republicans in Congress passed a bill to overturn the regulations that would ban the sharing of customers’ information, 72 percent of both Republicans and Democrats say the privacy rules should go into effect, with just 15 percent in each party believing the rules should be overturned." The rest answered, "not sure."
You can find the results here. Asked whether or not “telecom or cable companies should or should not be allowed to share personal information about customers, such as their web browsing history, without first getting customers’ permission?” Democrats, Independents, and Republicans were in agreement that they should not be allowed. Eighty-two percent of Democrats and Independents said no way, while eighty-four percent of Republicans asked said nuh uh. Remember Republicans, you can help save America from being “made great again,” in 2018. Find out about who your Republican representatives really serve.
