Voters in each party have become more likely to support gerrymandering if it counters redistricting efforts that favor their political opponents, new polls show.
New YouGov surveys from this month show that many Americans say partisan gerrymandering — the practice of redrawing congressional districts to favor one party — is unfair. However, these polls also show that support for tit-for-tat gerrymandering — the practice of one state redistricting in order to counter gerrymandering in another state — has grown throughout August. This comes as California engages in a tit-for-tat redistricting battle with Texas.
