Why This Score
This is routine polling data release by an independent organization (AP-NORC), not a government action. It has zero constitutional impact (no mechanism, no institutional lever, pure information). The B-score is minimal because polling releases are standard media fare with low hype characteristics. This is informational noise—useful for civic awareness but not a distraction tactic or governance harm.
