[...]
The nonprofit research center reported that 38% of Trump voters said abortion should be legal “in all or most cases,” compared with 88% of Biden supporters. And while a growing majority of voters believe the sex assigned at birth determines someone’s gender, including 90% of Trump supporters, only 39% of Biden supporters agreed.
“Across more than 30 measures, some of the widest differences are on issues that have divided Americans for decades: the role of guns in society, as well as race and the legacy of slavery,” Pew noted.
This disconnect extended to family life, where 59% of Trump backers and just 19% of Biden voters said focusing on marriage and family makes society better.
Other key findings included:
• The survey found 63% of Trump voters support a national deportation of all illegal immigrants, compared with 11% of Biden supporters.
• Only 27% of registered voters supporting Trump agreed that “the legacy of slavery affects the position of Black people in America today” either a great deal or a fair amount. Among Biden supporters, 79% said slavery’s legacy “still affects the position of Black people.”
• More than six in 10 voters said the criminal justice system is generally “not tough enough on criminals,” including 81% of Trump supporters and 40% of Biden voters.
• A large majority of respondents, 71%, said religion should be separate from government policies. That included 86% of Biden supporters and 56% of Trump voters.
On gun control, the survey found Trump and Biden supporters lining up on opposite sides of three questions.
While 80% of Biden voters said it is more important to control gun ownership, 85% of Trump supporters said it’s a bigger priority to “protect the right of Americans to own guns.”

If so, you had better start thinking different ...
