Scarborough: If You Look at the Polls, Trump’s Approach To the George Floyd Protests ‘Has Been a Disaster’

‘74% of Americans support the protests following George Floyd’s killing’

EXCERPT:

SCARBOROUGH: "And Willie, the move has been so quick in public opinion toward the support for reforms, for looking at race relations as it pertains to policing especially. Headline in 'The New York Times' this morning, that the GOP was caught flat-footed on racial reforms and they’re struggling with public anger. They don’t know what to do. They started out following the President on law and order. But if you look at the polls, the President’s approach has been a disaster. 74% of Americans support the protests following George Floyd’s killing. Only 25% oppose. And you can look at one poll after another. The peaceful protests, 84% say they’re justified. Only 12% say they’re not justified. And we’ve really got to say, these polls have changed even more dramatically, not just as it pertains to civil rights, but also as it pertains to politics. Since that June 1st day, which I think a lot of people are going to remember for years to come as perhaps the low point of this presidency, or certainly a turning point in the campaign."
