Poll: Majority of Americans Favor a Border Wall over a Green New Deal

A majority of Americans would rather have a wall sealing America’s southern border than the Green New Deal, according to a poll released on Wednesday.

Fifty-one percent of Americans say that they would rather have a border wall on America’s southern border, compared to 31 percent who say that they want a Green New Deal, according to a poll released by Remington Research Group.

Republicans said that they would prefer a border wall by a 68-point margin, while Independents said that they would prefer a border wall by a two-to-one margin.

Overall, a majority of Americans, or 51 percent, said they oppose a Green New Deal, 51 percent of Democrats support the radical environmental program, while Republicans and Independents overwhelmingly oppose Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s (D-NY) idea outright.

It's just common "cents". A wall provides security in more ways than one. Not only public safety but also the raping of the social systems. Secondly, a wall costs what...$5 billion? The new green deal costs trillions? I don't think we should shirk protecting the environment but we have to be smart about it. A new green deal in 10 years is not realistic nor prudent. AOC is a young snot and out to save the world; she has a lot to learn.
