I'm not posting screenshots of the whole thing because I don't want to screenshot a 13 page PDF

Libraries & Librarians are more popular than Politicians in general, presumably because Libraries are objectively good for society

Republicans & Independents have a more flexible definition of "Absolutely Not" than Democrats

Somehow 51% of Voters believing books should not be banned translates to 43% of Voters thinking it's very important that candidates not ban books.

The people that commissioned the survey want info before they'll give you the PDF, so here's some direct links:

We in the States have never been very good at walking our talk, so the reduction from 51% to 43% surprises me not a whit. Disappoints, yes.
