Hey there! Amid the buzz of global trends and digital chatter, recent US surveys reveal a clear message: locals aren’t here for a militarized response to protests in Los Angeles. According to a YouGov poll, 47% of US adults oppose sending Marines while only 34% back the idea. The sentiment is similar for National Guard troops, with 45% against compared to 38% in support.
This isn’t a new stance. A CNN/SSRS poll from June 2020 showed that 60% of Americans felt it was inappropriate for the President to deploy military forces during protests. More strikingly, a March 2025 survey indicated that 70% of respondents reject using the military to handle demonstrators – a view that spans across party lines.
Local voices matter too. When asked about who should lead protest management, 56% of those surveyed believe state and local authorities should take charge, while only 25% support federal intervention. In California, the trend continues, with 60% of voters seeing mass deportations as harmful and 63% preferring that local leaders shape immigration policies.
These insights highlight a powerful message: balanced, localized decision-making is key, even as tech trends and global issues dominate our news feeds. Whether you're catching up on the latest tech or keeping an eye on global movements, it looks like everyday voices are calling for measured, grassroots solutions. Stay informed and engaged! 😊
