Something is off with the chart. How is the “strong negative” in the population as a whole higher than it is in either subgroup? Under 45 and 45+ should include the entire sample.
Crazy stuff. Of respondents ≤ 45 who knew who Mangione was, around 40% are supportive of him!
Still a higher net approval than the dead CEO, UHC and the whole healthcare industry among under 45

To be fair, almost 50% of Americans expressed their support for a convicted felon in the elections. This is an improvement.
How is it possible that 42% of the total sample answered “strong negative”, but only 28% of the under 45 portion and 16% of the 45+? It isn’t. Something is fishy with the presentation of the data.
If the question before this was "do you have a positive opinion or negative of our Healthcare system leading to the deaths of 68000 Americans annually, you'd see a significantly different result on this question too
that datapoint, the 68k, actually comes from a study that tried to model how many people would die every year if Obamacare *had not passed*, just fyi

Lol leftists have a god-given gift for confidently and smugly taking unpopular positions. It never fails.
The media won’t tell you, and woke liberals are clueless: Trump’s roaring comeback is driven by everyday Americans fed up with soaring bills, not obsessed about a dozen genders or the right to a transgender bathroom. #AbookThatChangesEverything #TrumpWon
This is sus as hell. Sounds like astorturfing based on the org doing this. Red flags abound.

It's karmically equivalent to a Trump vote; a tacit endorsement of a crime that will crumble society when copied. Scold them to watch them dig in.

A perfect example of people trusting something online just because of a neat graph and a logo – this "think tank" just spawned into existence and this is the only research on their website. I cannot find any information about them elsewhere. Not even on their director's LinkedIn. x.com/ArmandDoma/sta…
Ya, this is folk hero level.
We might be cooked. We already had a problem with folks shooting others for notoriety and attention. Now folks are getting positive attention.
Get ready for random acts of violence go up.
astonishing that 31% of people under 45 have a positive opinion of him. who are these people and how do we rid our society of people who support execution style murders?
Somewhat negative for killing a person among boomers is basically a folk hero for them. Who could be fully supportive? The fact it isn't total condemnation shows the public's hatred for these companies/system
I swear to God just give this kid life or death penalty and get this shit out of the media. It's over, he's some psycho piece of shit who got caught and who's life is over. Stop letting these internet larpers get their rocks off with their weirdo political fantasies.
Would love to see the overlay of this with the people who think Hamas is good, schools should be closed, masks should have stayed on and the riots were mostly peaceful.
Oh wow. They did a poll on who is or isn’t a Luigi Mangione stan? We try people in the justice system not the court of public opinion and execution isn’t legal. Maybe they should do one on the Unabomber or some other serial killer next?
Love these neoliberals jumping at the first chance of defending the healthcare insurance industry.
I don't believe this poll. I think it's at least 30%. I think this is being used to try to get the whack job leftists to stop celebrating murder.
That is a brand new pollster with only a couple posts on their page, and there’s likely a pressure towards claiming to have a negative opinion because who’s telling a stranger on the phone that they support assassinations? Take this poll with a mountain of salt.
"Youth have a higher net approval of Mangione (-10%) than of Brian Thompson (-24%), UnitedHealthcare (-31%), and the health insurance industry (-34%)."
this is important context

I think it's responsible to note that this from a patreon account with a single post. You should at least note that this is not a typical polling source
Charts go viral on the internet and stick around long after they're debunked due to overconfident presentation
I don’t think this is an interesting question though. My sense is that most people don’t approve of gunning a guy down so think Luigi is bad, but also hate the insurance industry and don’t particularly care that Brian Thompson died
Let's be real, how many people are gonna openly say 'positive' on this one even if they actually do like Luigi?
Maybe I don't understand basic math but how does under 45 have a 28% strong disapproval, over 45 have a 16% strong disapproval, and that equates to a total 42% strong disapproval
I thought this caution deserved weight.

Sorry to be the one to pull this card but I have basically zero trust for the results of a poll done by a bunch of inexperienced people who contracted out to Pollfish and picked an obviously highly attention seeking topic to launch their new “think tank” x.com/armanddoma/sta…
Due to the small sample size and because data was collected using Random Device Engagement (RDE) method, it’s likely there was a significant amount of self-selection bias. I’d wager the people who opted in to provide survey data on “random” platforms do not generalize well.

Some questions about the poll. What locations are the people that are sampled at?, how many of each age group?, how does this poll represent ALL Americans across the country?
How can the total for "Strongly Negative" (42%) be larger than the share saying "Strongly Negative" in each subcategory (28% and 16%)? I must be misreading this.
this isn't really a surprise, no? people can understand and sympathize with *why* someone did something without condoning it
I'm unsure why Strong Negative is 42% overall despite being only 28% and 16% of the two subsets, or how 19 and 61 average out to 19 for Somewhat Negative.
How is the total-population proportion for "strong negative" greater than both of the proportions of the presumably-exclusive subpopulations under-45 and 45+?

Kinda interstate that 45+ are much more likely to be somewhat against but also less likely to be strongly against.
It’s unclear how they get that overall strong negative number based on the over and under 45 strong negative numbers
