It's all in the numbers!

 A recent poll by Economist/YouGov contained a telling and troubling piece of data. 

The poll asked respondents to consider, "Which comes closest to your view?"

 Here were the two very different options:

 1. "Our lives are threatened by terrorists, criminals, and illegal immigrants and our priority should be to protect ourselves."

 2. "It's a big, beautiful world, mostly full of good people, and we must find a way to embrace each other and not allow ourselves to become isolated."

It may or may not come as a surprise but the top question (#1) was favoured by more Republican's and the bottom question (#2) was picked by more Democrats!

Makes sense to me. 

The way I see it anyway!
