        It’s possible many of that 17% are ‘not sure’ because they failed to understand the question and couldn’t be bothered to read it twice. They are Americans.

      Some people are just too alienated from things and when asked about their opinion, they’re like ‘errr I don’t know, not sure’, and that’s usually not because they understand the matter but are unsure of it, but because they don’t understand the matter at all

      Usually that also includes “didn’t respond”/DR/NR. I would assume this was a multi question survey and that 17% includes at least some DR/NR.
