The Week in Polling: A convicted Trump, D-Day memories, and anti-Israel encampments

  Just before the 80th anniversary of D-Day, Leger released a poll which found that nearly half of young Canadians (18-34) were unfamiliar with the event that marked the beginning of the end of the Nazi regime in Europe. The poll also found that barely a majority of young adult Canadians (51 percent), when informed of the events of D-Day, feel that the day is meaningful and significant.     This recent Angus Reid poll depicts the stark polarization between young and old Canadians around the legitimacy of students setting pro-Palestinian/anti-Israel protest encampments on university campuses for several months. Forty-seven percent of 18-34 year-olds approve, as opposed to 10 percent of those over 55. However within that younger cohort, there is division. Additionally, the poll found that 47 percent of 18-34 year-olds support or strongly support universities severing all investment and academic ties they might have with Israel.
