The poll indicates a notable divide in perceptions among young voters, with 24% finding the act 'somewhat acceptable' and 17% 'completely acceptable.' In contrast, 68% of all respondents across demographics find the actions of the killer unacceptable. The poll also highlights that 22% of Democrats, 16% of independents, and 12% of Republicans in this age group view the killing as acceptable.
