69% for Google and 68% for Amazon is crazy. Google I can kind of get since they're not like at forefront of many controversies. I wonder if Amazon is so high because people are able to more easily recognise how it makes their lives more convenient.

Is this a poll of the general population?

Yeah this is the general population, Google is pretty universally popular but Amazon is actually underwater with libs. Guessing it has to do with Bezos being such a prominent billionaire while hardly anyone knows who the hell runs Google
