From the article.
The survey of 1,085 U.S. Likely Voters was conducted on November 30-December 6, 2023 by Rasmussen Reports and The Heartland Institute. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence.What's 3% less than 2%?
Don't know how the margin of error works in this case, but 1,085 is a very small sample anyway, so I don't think the poll should be taken too seriously on it's own merits.

Any such position is unethical; thus, I am not defending them. But your utter hypocrisy by rightfully blaming the 2% while not blaming the "Lock her up!" chants is very telling.

They should not have much troublé doing the deed then.
Hypotheses non fingo.
If "lock her up" is considered unethical then the percentage of Democrats who think Trump is guilty without any conviction are unethical too. It is telling you don't condemn them. Yours is the "utter hypocrisy".
What?

He already has been found guilty dealing with his misrepresentation of his finances, but then if you get your "news" mainly from Fox, I wouldn't expect you to know that.
And did you listen to any of the January 6th Committee testimony? Fox wouldn't cover it-- whatta surprise!
It means I don't do or discuss baseless hypotheses. Hypotheses non fingo - Wikipedia
You are dodging. You assumed that asking for Trump's execution if he is found guilty is treason is somehow morally outrageous. I am asking you to justify this...since execution is indeed considered a punishment for people who commit high treason.
Trump is appealing the case about his finances. Furthermore such a putative misrepresentation is not an executable offense.He already has been found guilty dealing with his misrepresentation of his finances, but then if you get your "news" mainly from Fox, I wouldn't expect you to know that.

Again with FoxNews? As I told you in the thread "Trump Sues CNN for Defamation Over 'Persistent Association' to 'Adolf Hitler and Nazism' in $475 M" that I don't watch FoxNews. So you should already know that I don't get my news from it. I would expect you to know that, since I have already told you that. Your weird, irrational "thing" about FoxNews isn't my problem. It is yours.
It isn't "dodging". You are in error that execution is the one and only punishment for a conviction of treason. The penalty would depend on the individual cases circumstance. Hence my comment on hypothetical cases is quite pertinent and not any "dodging".

Then where do you get your news from? I am more than willing to give you my sources.Trump is appealing the case about his finances. Furthermore such a putative misrepresentation is not an executable offense.

And given the "if found guilty" means following the rule of law I don't see the problem. That's the opposite of storming a government building and wanting to hang the Vice President.
Trump, I just wonder when his diet and lack if exercise is going to do him in. It can't be much longer.

Did you even read the thread? Two percent of Dems want him dead if he's found guilty in a court of law.
Amd truth be told, Trump made me realize I'm not entirely against the death penalty like I thought.

No, it's not dividing any clauses bit rather splitting a complete thought. That would be a comma splice.
Best not to pick on grammar though. Even our resident, card carrying Grammar Nazi makes mistakes.
You admit that it is one acceptable form of punishment for high treason in general according to US law?
Definition: In Article III, Section 3 of the United States Constitution, treason is specifically limited to levying war against the U.S., or adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort.[2]
Penalty: Under U.S. Code Title 18, the penalty is death,[4] or not less than five years' imprisonment (with a minimum fine of $10,000, if not sentenced to death). Any person convicted of treason against the United States also forfeits the right to hold public office in the United States.[5]
Do you admit that the citizens who want death penalty for Mr Trump if found guilty of treason is actually wanting a perfectly legally permissible punishment for that sort of crime?
So what justifies your moral outrage?
What part of Trump hasn't been found guilty isn't clear? That means he is presumed innocent. Unless and until he is convicted you want to, dare I say insist on, arguing "what-ifs". In other words, you want to fight straw man arguments. As I wrote before hypotheses non fingo.
