majorities of Republican and Independents similarly opposed the firing, as well as 40% of Democrats.<\/p>\n<p>Honing-in on Carano, the polling data found that more than 70% of Americans believe the actress should not have been fired after assessing the social media post for themselves.<\/p>\n<p>After reviewing the post, 28% said Disney was right to fire Carano, 39% said it may have been poorly worded, but she did\u00a0not deserve to get fired, and 34% said they found nothing wrong with the quote and that Carano should not have been fired.<\/p>\n<p>The opposition to Carano\u2019s firing even held true with Democrats and liberals: \u201cAfter viewing the post, a majority of every single group tested, including Democrats,\u00a0liberals and 70% of Disney fans said that Carano should not have been fired,\u201d Public Opinion Strategies found.<\/p>\n<p>Notably, 61%\u00a0of those with a \u201cless favorable\u201d impression of Disney identified the firing of\u00a0Carano and other \u201ccancel culture\u201d actions the company has taken recently.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the comments from the participants included the following:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cDisney defended using sets near the slave camps in China.\u201d<\/em><br \/><em>\u201cThem firing people for having different views than the boss has.\u201d<\/em><br \/><em>\u201cThey are yielding to woke cultural activism.\u201d<\/em><br \/><em>\u201cThey are developing a full-blown cancel culture.\u201d<\/em><br \/><em>\u201cThey caved to the liberals of the cancel culture.
