More than two-thirds of registered voters polled earlier this month for The Salt Lake Tribune said they did not believe athletes should kneel in protest during the anthem.
In total, 67 percent of people interviewed in the new Dan Jones & Associates poll were opposed to athletes’ kneeling during the song, compared to 21 percent who supported the form of protest.
Meanwhile, 81 percent of people polled said the national anthem should be played before sporting events, with only 10 percent saying it should not.
Solid majority of state residents poll believe the national anthem should be played before sporting events, and that professional athletes should stand at attention when the anthem is played.
