Democratic voters overwhelmingly consider Trump guilty, while Republicans are more divided.

Jared Polis, the Democratic governor of Colorado, is known for his backing of charter schools and universal preschool. However, he is against voucher programs and higher taxes on vape products. Polis is a leader in legalizing marijuana and psychedelics, but he supports reducing nitrous oxide emissions in the oil and gas industry. He disagrees with the recent Supreme Court decision regarding a website designer's right to deny service to a gay couple and supports student loan forgiveness. Polis argues that Democrats are "more pro-freedom" than Republicans, though he finds common ground with John Stossel on certain issues. #education #politics
