A new poll found that most Republicans believe “left-wing protesters” bear responsibility for the January 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.
According to a Yahoo/YouGov poll, a survey of 1,588 U.S. adults found 41% of Republicans say supporters of former President Donald Trump bear “some” or “a great deal” of responsibility for the riots.
Only 23% blame the former president himself and 52% claim he is “not at all” to blame. A total of 73% of Republicans say “left-wing protesters” hold “some” or “a great deal” of responsibility for the insurrection.
The majority of Democrats, on the other hand, place blame on Trump supporters, Trump himself, and Republicans who believe the election was stolen.
A new Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday discovered 55% of respondents say the insurrection was an “attack on democracy that should never be forgotten.”
According to 39% of respondents, “too much is being made of” the riot, and it’s “time to move on.”
Five people lost their lives after pro-Trump rioters stormed the Capitol while Congress was meeting to certify the electoral results of the 2020 election.
