    You are a moron. The irony of someone talking about education... when all you had to do was read the article to the end in order to see there were over 100 more democrats than republicans in the sample. (plus Reuters did not tell us how they broke out the leaners)

    19% of Americans think spending 5 billion on a wall is a good idea:

    Only 19% of respondents thought the wall was the best use of that funding.

    The best-polling use of funds was paying healthcare expenses for a half-million people, backed by 36% of respondents.

    A further 30% thought infrastructure would most benefit from the funding, while 15% would fund pre-K programs.

    • Of those who identified as moderately or very conservative, about 53% wanted the wall, with 22% preferring infrastructure improvements and 16% preferring healthcare.
    • Of those who only slightly leaned liberal or conservative or didn't identify with either political ideology, they vastly preferred healthcare (39%) and infrastructure (32%), then pre-K (16%) and only then the wall (13%).
    • Of those who identified as moderately or very liberal, only 2% want to fund the wall, with 49% preferring that spending go to healthcare, 34% on infrastructure and 14% on pre-K.
