A majority of Americans want to preserve Confederate monuments: Reuters/Ipsos poll
![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmUVRqvvsHEGdMkikHDqTGaatYddRNi4zVQGBJcJ8gL8Xg/image.png)

A new Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll appears to show that 54 percent of adults  believe that Confederate monuments "should remain in all public spaces". This is compared to just 27 percent who thought that they "should be removed from all public spaces."

The poll also looked at people's views on the recent problems in Charlottesville, Virginia. Surprisingly, opinion was split on the subject, with people blaming extremists on both sides

Reading Reuters articles lately, I would say that there has definitely been an anti-Trump bias. This article, however, has been very factual and talks about what Trump has said and the reactions to it. It even makes the statement,

>There were people among both camps who came carrying sticks and shields.

which is something it has not focused on before.

Has Reuters suddenly realized that many people actually still agree with President Trump?

This will surely get minimal coverage, if any, on the good ol' T.V.
