Contributing sentiments towards policy:

62% : What is new, as The New York Times recently reported, is how involved Facebook is getting in providing social media services to those candidates.
42% : Kreiss said it would take far too much manpower and time to create very specific advertisements for so many users and that it's more likely the ads will target general groups such as environmentalists, people against taxes or people with an interest in health care.
36% : Say, for example, that good ol' Donald Trump has said he's interested in protecting a certain wildlife refuge (for whatever reason), but overall he's not a huge fan of maintaining environmental standards and regulations.
