It seems that people like being in crisis, rather than having stability. (lemmy.world)

YouGov is a UK Government polling service, so you're seeing British polling responses regarding the chaos on the USA.

We didn't vote for him.

The survey was done of U.S. citizens. You can look up the survey on YouGov.com to see the population surveyed. The survey is titled “Democracy, Trump, and Musk”

Target population: U.S. Citizens, aged 18 and over.

Sampling method: Respondents were selected from YouGov's opt-in panel to be representative of adult U.S. citizens.

As noted in their “about” page, YouGov does international research. https://today.yougov.com/about

With operations in the UK, the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, India and Asia Pacific, we have one of the world's largest research networks.

Even if it were the results from American respondents, the question is vague enough to go either way. Trump supporters feel like their dear leader is being challenged by the courts and foreign governments thinking they can claim sovereignty over their own country just because it's theirs. Trump critics would also say we're in the middle of a constitutional crisis because they have functioning eyes and brains.
