So 12% felt he was at least as good as he was bad, 12% fell into the 'well, even a horrible person can do something right, and 12% were somehow not sure…
I personally would tally this up as “12%” rather than “24%”.
Or at least in my opinion, option “D” (bad person that did some good things) is most likely the closest to an objective answer and “E” (completely bad) is a totally acceptable summary. But both D and E both summarize Hitler as bad. The people summarizing him as “balanced” or “good” totaled to 12%.

Do you think of Adolf Hitler as. . . ?

So basically the number is 5%, not 23%
I mean … 35% think he’s not all bad. That’s more than 1 in 5 (20%)
This is interesting, thank you for sharing.

To be clear, this is still horrific imo.
and 12% not sure aka couldn’t really make up their mind if Hitler was bad or not… so ads up to 24%
That’s fair, but we don’t know why they said they weren’t sure. Could be educational issues, memory issues, etc.
Not a good look either way. Wild to me that number is so high.
