More than two years since a mob attacked the U.S. Capitol in an attempt to overturn the 2020 presidential election results, a new survey released Friday found that fewer Texans are certain democracy is the best form of government.
According to the poll, 14% of the respondents said they didn’t know or had no opinion on whether democracy is the best form of government. In 2019, no one said they didn’t know. The poll, conducted from Jan. 6 to Jan. 12, also found what Blank called an “astronomical” change in Texans’ opinion on public education.
“The reality is it’s impossible to say exactly what led to that, but it's pretty easy to surmise that the long tail of COVID-related closures and changes to education have had an impact, but also the explicit politicization of K-12 public education with culture war issues,” Blank said. “So, it's not surprising to see these negative evaluations take hold. It's surprising that it happened so quickly.
