[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Half of Americans say the Trump administration is not committed to protecting Americans’ rights and freedoms, according to an ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll conducted using Ipsos’ KnowledgePanel.

Additionally, majorities say President Donald Trump is not committed to protecting freedom of the press (61%), freedom of speech (57%), a fair criminal justice system (56%) or free and fair elections (56%). About half say he is not committed to protecting freedom of religion (49%). A 73% majority, though, say he is committed to protecting freedom to own firearms.

Majorities of Republicans say Trump is committed to all of the rights measured; most Democrats and independents say he is not committed to any of them -- except for owning firearms, according to the poll.

At the same time, slim majorities of Americans say the Democratic Party is committed to protecting freedom of press (53%), speech (53%), religion (52%) and free and fair elections (51%).

2. Unfortunately, the same poll also indicates Democrats are slightly more out of touch.

"At the same time, even more Americans say the Democratic Party is "out of touch with the concerns of most people in the United States today" (68%) than Trump (63%) and the Republican Party (61%)."

We are stuck as a 50/50 country until counted votes indicate otherwise.
