Most Americans Oppose Partisan Gerrymandering

A new Economist/YouGov poll finds 71% of U.S. adults say states should not be allowed to draw congressional districts to favor one party, with only 7% in favor. Opposition is broad across Democrats (74%), Independents (70%) and Republicans (69%), even as many people remain unsure about whether their own state's districts are fair. — Widespread cross‑party opposition to partisan gerrymandering strengthens the political case for structural redistricting reforms and signals public appetite for rules that limit elite manipulation of electoral maps.
