90 Percent of Republicans, 65 Percent of Independents, 59 Percent of Democrats Don't Think Washington Redskins Should Change Their Name
But what does Elizabeth Warren think?
Republicans are much more likely than Democrats to say the Washington Redskins do not need to change their name, according to a new poll.
A full 90 percent of Republicans surveyed by Public Policy Polling said a name change is unnecessary. A majority of Democrats, 59 percent, also agreed the football team does not need to change its name — leaving a 31 percent gap between the parties.
Sixty-five percent of independents also said the team does not need to change its name.
