Why it matters: In a rare show of bipartisan agreement, a new poll by American Pulse Research & Polling reveals that a striking 77.7% of New Hampshire voters believe a "double standard" is present within the U.S. legal and justice system.
The Big Picture: This sentiment cuts across party lines, with 83.5% of Republicans, 71.5% of Democrats, and 76.8% of Independents expressing this belief. The data also showcases that a significant majority of those polled in both the Republican and Democratic primaries perceive this double standard.
What's Happening: While the sentiment towards the broader legal system is overwhelmingly negative, an impressive 86.7% of New Hampshire residents hold a favorable view of their local police. This highlights a complex relationship with law enforcement and the justice system at different levels.
