Contributing sentiments towards policy:

37% : In his first monologue after "The Late Show" was canceled by CBS, which cited a "purely financial" decision in an explanation that looks less and less credible, Colbert responded to the president's social media reference to his fellow talk show host ("I hear Jimmy Kimmel is next," Trump posted) by waving his finger at the screen: "No, no, absolutely not Kimmel," he said.
27% : President Trump, who has already effectively mounted pressure campaigns against universities, law firms and media networks, had made this clear, calling for Kimmel's show to be canceled long before ABC's decision Wednesday to pull him off the air.
18% : Now that the talk shows of Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel -- two late-night hosts who made jokes about President Trump the centerpiece of their programs -- have been canceled and suspended, respectively, what are the heavy hitters of the comedy community doing?
