Associated Press-NORC Poll Finds Widespread Concern About Crime Among Democrats
Democrats face difficulty crafting a crime message as 81% of Americans view crime as a major problem in large cities, while they avoid adopting Republicans' tough-on-crime rhetoric.
About 81% of Americans see crime as a 'major problem' in large cities, according to the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.
Approximately 8 in 10 Democrats find it 'completely' or 'somewhat' unacceptable for the president to control local police departments.
Historically, crime has not been a top issue for the Democratic base, highlighting a challenge for Democratic leaders.
