Another 16% of respondents are not sure of their opinion. Support for building a White House ballroom is divided along party lines, with 62% of Republicans supporting the decision and 88% of Democrats opposed. At the same time, 61% of independent voters oppose the demolition of the east wing and the construction of the ballroom, and almost half of them in the survey expressed “categorically against” it.

This is three times more than the capacity of the currently largest East Room of the White House. Although the idea was announced a few months ago, it caused quite a public outcry. According to media reports, the US Treasury Department, which has the best view of the site, told employees not to share photos of the demolition.”, — write: www.pravda.com.ua
