Poll: One in five adults have attended a political protest, rally or speech

A new poll finds that 1 in 5 Americans has protested in the streets or participated in a political rally since the beginning of 2016, and environment and energy issues were cited among the top two most frequently protested issues. 19% of those who have protested said the actions were their first of that kind, the majority (70%) disapproved of the President, and were most likely to be college graduates and Democrats. Also, one-third of those polled say they intend to volunteer or work for a 2018 congressional campaign, and 83% of rally-goers and protesters said they are certain to vote.
