A poll conducted jointly by The University of Texas and The Texas Tribune has found that a majority of Texans believe that the federal government is likely to order a “domestic military intervention” to arrest political protesters and violate property rights. The poll was conducted primarily to discover whether Texans felt Governor Greg Abbott was correct in his actions to send the Texas State Guard to monitor the Jade Helm military exercises in Central Texas, which many are concerned are part of a larger drill for a future domestic military takeover. The poll found that 39 percent agreed with the Governor’s actions, while 28 percent opposed them. A whopping 32 percent had no opinion on the matter. It is the poll’s other findings, however, that are most revealing. Respondents were asked if they feel that a “federal military intervention” is likely in several different situations. Strikingly, large numbers of Texans replied in the affirmative. More than half said that they felt it was “very” or “somewhat” likely that the military would be deployed domestically to arrest political protesters. A further 50 percent noted that they think it likely that the federal government would use US troops in order to actively violate citizens’ property rights. In other words, most Texans are actually expecting some form of a military takeover at some point. A large number, 44 percent, also believe that the military is likely to be used to impose martial law, while the same amount think troops would be asked to confiscate firearms from US citizens. The poll even found that almost one third of Democrats believe the military will be used to impose martial law, while 40 percent think it is likely troops will be used against protesters. “You put federal government into it and people’s skepticism and their concern really rises,” said Daron Shaw, professor of government at UT-Austin. “It cuts into everybody’s suspicion,” Shaw said. “Nobody trusts the federal government. About a third of Democrats are concerned about the government going nuts. Among Republicans, it’s between 55 percent and two-thirds.” “What we’re picking up here are feelings ranging from skepticism to outright hostility toward the federal government on the part of many Texas Republicans,” he said. “It’s hard not to think that Republicans’ extremely unfavorable views of President Obama further fuel these feelings.” Poster Comment: The majority of Texans think that you're a CT k0oK if you like Jade Helm 15, and trust commander in chief Obongo. The heathen sheeple will continue to worship ObongoBush. 44% believe martial law will be implemented

Now, hot shot, show a link to this UT/TT poll so we can determine if the questions were, or were not, loaded in the several different situations and phrased to obtain desired results. It has long been established that polls can easily be fixed by the wording of the questions. Furthermore, the order in which they are asked and the number and form of alternative answers offered have easily influenced the results of polls. Therefore, the question wording can results in quite pronounced difference. Far too often polls are deliberately engineered by unscrupulous pollsters in order to generate a certain desired result. On the other hand, the respondents may deliberately try to manipulate the outcome of a poll by advocating a more extreme position than they actually hold in order to boost their side of the argument or give ill-considered answers in order to deceive. Don’t put too much, if any, faith in polls. Do your own research to form you own opinion….don’t let someone else form your opinion for you.
It's in the first sentence of the article, squib dud.... (Texas Tribune) https://www.texastribune.org/2015/06/25/uttt-poll-texans-wary-domestic-use-military/ Your posting history shows that you've tried all of the dishonest techniques you mentioned, and failed every time. To avoid further embarrassment, just quit.
I see NO link to the UT/TT poll....all I see is a link to an article in the Texas Tribune. Where's The Poll?....Where's The Poll?....Where's The Poll?
My posting history clearly shows that I challenge each and every one of you creeps to reveal that you are nothing more than a group of biased hypocrites who do nothing but continually alienate others with your asinine comments and warped beliefs. I will NEVER quit and allow you Liberal Trolls to continue to flame, lie, stalk and bait the intelligent postes like myself on LF. I will flag you and challenge you each and every time you post yellow journalism….you can bet you ass on that!
Post #4 was for you!!!
There are three PDF files under the first chart, in addition to links leading to more stories, at the bottom. If you can't see any of that, why even pretend to be looking at data? You can't handle the truth, so you claim that it's not there.
Good grief Gatslime, don't you ever stop with your incessant whining? You're like a petulant three-year-old. Oh, the irony - SPLC mouthpiece. ...the intelligent postes like myself.. Man, you don't even realize what a joke you are, do you? I don't want to see more stories....I want to see the actual UT/TT Poll to read the questions and learn how they were set up. I already know that you can post stupid gifs, that is not want I want to see. Can you provide me with a scorce to the acutal UT/TT poll, or not? What were the several different situations and how were the questions set up? Anyone wanting to prove a point can construct a poll and set it up to prove anything they want to prove. I only want to see the UT/TT poll and find out how they did that. If you can't provide sourcing, then you can take your biased information from Infowars and ...
Asking for the a source to the UT/TT poll is not whining. Can you provide a source to the UT/TT poll?
I realize that I am asking to learn the truth about the UT/TT poll...and that ain't no joke, man. Do you have a source?
POSSE COMITATUS WON'T SAVE YOU FROM THE U.S. MILITARY
The source was provided. Stop your whining, fed.gov shill. Stop your whining, fed.gov shill. The source is NOT to the UT/TT poll. I want to see the actual poll, just like a person who responded to the poll did. Quite showing your ignorance, asshole!
SPAM....that is all you have, spam?
You really need to get a clue. The information was provided. Now STFU and let the adults talk. A copy of that internet survey cannot be found anywhere! Until I can find a copy of that poll to see how it was constructed, I find no other alternative to labeling your Infowars article: I’m done here….you two have nothing!
Good grief man, are you really that effing stupid? It's right at the link. Here - now shut your whining yap. Do your own work next time jagoff. LOL !! Si vis pacem, para bellum
" Quite showing your ignorance, asshole! " And you are a master of the English language? I thought such potty mouth language was supposed to stop here at LF ? I guess your special, LOL! Si vis pacem, para bellum

The University of Texas/Texas Tribune internet survey of 1,200 registered voters was conducted from June 5 to June 14 and has an overall margin of error of +/- 2.83 percentage points. Numbers in charts might not add up to 100 percent because of rounding.
