This is a good example of a poorly worded poll question, assuming that the respondents were actually asked “the United States is in a Constitutional crisis”. Different people can answer that question “yes” with wildly different mental states. For example:
Someone who views Trump’s actions as unconstitutional and sees a need for congress/the courts to reign him in could say, “yes” as they see this as a Constitutional crisis.
A full blown MAGA believer could see Congress’s and the Court’s attempts to stop Trump as unconstitutional and prompting a Constitutional crisis.
Without followup questions, all this poll question would tell us is that a bunch of people see “Constitutional crisis” as a fitting description for the current state of the US government.
