Among Democrats, support jumped to a majority (53%), while opposition fell. Awareness that there is no federal ban on partisan gerrymandering also increased, though most still want one. — A measurable opinion shift toward tit‑for‑tat maps signals erosion of anti‑gerrymandering norms and a political opening for an interstate arms race—or for federal rules.
