    43% in favour or unsure of a hostile takeover of your long time ally and trading partner???

    I dont’t think “few americans in favor” is the correct headline here.

    “Nearly 1 in 5 americans support an unprovoked war against an ally” sounds more accurate

      That’s not the question asked and I really wish it had been. “Canada becoming americas 51st state” could easily be a peaceful, friendly transition (especially because a lot of people have been brainwashed into thinking the US is objectively the best country, so who wouldn’t want to join it?).

      At least “annexing” implies force. I want to know how many Americans want to use force against our closest allies.

        shitty poll questions get shitty results. I almost want to go into polling just to try and influence it to have better questions.
