More than 40% of young voters say UnitedHealthcare CEO killing was ‘acceptable’: poll

( NYPost )

A shocking number of young people support UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson’s killer, with 41 percent saying Luigi Mangione’s alleged actions are “acceptable,” an Emerson College poll has found.

Twenty-four percent of US voters ages 18 to 29 answered that Mangione’s alleged brazen execution was somewhat acceptable, and 17 percent said it was completely acceptable.

There was also a stark partisan split among those polled, with 22% of Democrats saying they find the alleged killer’s actions acceptable compared to only 12% of Republicans and 16% of independents who do so.

The poll of 1,000 voters was conducted last week.

Mangione was indicted Tuesday in New York on upgraded charges of murder as an act of terrorism.
