Americans feel serious concern over China's influence over the United States, including media, culture and government, according to the results of a recent poll.
The survey was a collaborative effort by the Trafalgar Group and Convention of States Action (COSA) that examines the views of 1,089 likely general election voters on the communist country's impact on America.
The poll found that a large majority of those surveyed expressed some level of concern over China's influence on the United States' way of life, with 81% of respondents expressing concern, 50.8% being "very concerned” and only 18.9% "not concerned."
The attitude did not shift among party lines as 71.4% of Democrats expressed concern, along with 92.2% of Republicans. Of those who did not affiliate with the two major parties (independents and third-party affiliates), 79.4% expressed concern of China's influence over America.
Coca-Cola, a Georgia-based company, has recently come under fire to its entanglements with the Chinese regime. The company was among those that lobbied against a bill that would ban imported goods made with slave labor, according to The New York Times.
COSA President Mark Meckler said the focus should not be on further politically dividing the country, but rather paying attention to what China is doing with respect to the world.
“Our fight is not with each other, our fight is with the evil communists in China who have snuffed out the light of freedom in their own land and are now spreading their great totalitarian reset around the globe," Meckler said.
COSA is a grassroots political organization with over 5 million supporters across the United States whose objective is on calling an Article V Convention of the States to propose amendments to the U.S. Constitution. COSA promotes amendments that would impose limitations on the size and scope of the federal government.
The Trafalgar Group is a public polling and market research firm that Real Clear Politics calls the "most accurate pollster of the cycle among those firms that polled multiple Senate and governor races” this year.
