More than half of Americans support Facebook banning Donald Trump until 2023, a move the social media giant took after the previous president refused directives to adhere to the company’s terms of service, reduce his violence-inciting rhetoric and stop spreading coronavirus misinformation.
The new poll, done by Politico and Morning Consult, found 51% of people who strongly or somewhat approve of the ban, versus 40% who strongly or somewhat disapprove. 72% of declared Democrats strongly support the ban, versus 67 of self-identified Republicans who strongly oppose it. Roughly 1 in 8 people who voted for Trump in 2020 say they support the ban.
