Commentary: Is Chicago ready for police reform? – Chicago Sun-Times*

"(C)onsider this new poll of Chicago voters on public safety done for a non-profit news organization called Wirepoints. The poll shows that 'defunding police' — a phrase initially undefined in the poll — is unpopular by a 51-39% margin. Notably, these voters overwhelmingly support Black Lives Matter by a margin of 76-24%."

Just as the protest signs and yard signs do not come with a pamphlet defining defund the police.

The purpose of the question was to gauge support of the defund the police movement.
