Majority of Voters Say U.S. Gov. Does Not Consider Itself At War With CCP But Plurality Say CCP at War with U.S.

(Austin, TX—September 15, 2022) Convention of States Action, in partnership with The Trafalgar Group—one of America’s most accurate pollsters in 2016, 2018, 2020, and 2021—is releasing the results of a new national survey. Results were from surveys conducted September 2nd through September 5th of over 1,000 likely 2022 election voters.

“These are stunning results. Americans clearly see that the Chinese Communist Party considers itself at war with the United States, and yet they acknowledge that the U.S. government doesn’t appear to have a clue this is the case,” said Mark Meckler, President of the Convention of States. “President Trump raised this issue repeatedly during his term in office, while President Biden mentions it so rarely, one wonders if he could find China on a map. This is not a left-right issue, it’s not a Republican-Democrat issue, it’s a survival issue for America and the free world.”
