Really surprised that Democrats are such an outlier at only 29%. None of the other demographics come close. Every demo jumped down, which isn't too surprising, but Democrats dropped by 35% with the percentage who disagreed at 29% now in '26 whereas black people as a demographic are at 47%. I really would have thought that number would be lower.
