Pit thread for Martin_Hyde {He has been BANNED}

@Jackmannii

You’re stepping into the same bullshit as Martin_Hyde by attacking the source instead of conceding its factual reporting. The only reason I linked to that cite was to back up the quote about how a British opinion poll found that nearly half of Britons want Prince Charles to step aside once the Queen dies, so that William can take the throne.

I think I am beginning to see… were you trying to counter Martin_Hyde’s claim that the Prince enjoys public support from a majority of Brits?

ETA: Is this an accurate reconstruction of what you were addressing with the Reader’s Digest cite (underlying poll here)?

@Martin_Hyde

Opinion polling in the UK shows Charles is generally seen favorably by a majority of the country most of the time for the last 20 years.

@Martin_Hyde

But my point was simply that the public at large has largely turned favorable towards him for a good period of time now, I don’t believe he has had lower favorable than unfavorable in over 20 years (he has fallen below 50% favorable off and on, but the unfavorable number generally didn’t top it.)

@Jackmannii

As for Charles’ lukewarm support in the U.K…

“…a survey by BMG Research reveals that nearly half of the British public wants Prince Charles to step aside and give the throne to his oldest son when Queen Elizabeth II passes away.”
