Most Americans don’t agree with the “defund the police” movement, according to recent polls.

Nearly two-thirds, or 64 percent, said they oppose the movement in a new Ipsos poll commissioned by ABC News. Thirty-four percent said they support the movement while slightly more, 39 percent, support reducing the budget of their local police departments if the money is redirected to programs related to mental health, housing, and education.
