The vast majority of voters in a new Harvard CAPS-Harris poll released exclusively to The Hill say they believe civil unrest will be an important issue in the November election.
More than 9 in 10 voters surveyed in the poll, 92 percent, said they thought the issue would be important in the presidential campaign and election, including 52 percent who called it "very important" and 40 percent who viewed it as "somewhat important." The survey was released Friday.
The findings come as protests over racial injustice and police brutality have continued for months across the country following the deaths of unarmed Black individuals such as Breonna Taylor and George Floyd. The most recent wave of protests has taken place in response to the shooting of Jacob Blake, a Black man who was shot by police seven times at close range in Kenosha, Wis.
While many of the demonstrations have been peaceful, some have devolved into rioting and looting. President Trump and other Republicans have cited the clashes between protesters and law enforcement to campaign on a message of "law and order" heading into November.
About a quarter of voters in the Harvard CAPS-Harris poll, 26 percent, said they believed Trump was "most responsible" for the violence in cities, while 20 percent laid blame on police brutality. Just 5 percent of voters said that Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden was "most responsible" for the unrest.

I have never responded to a ridiculous poll even when they offered to pay me, because it’s all bunk.
Ain’t nuthin’ ‘civil’ about it. Mostly peaceful? That either.
Lets do a poll:
how is Trump inciting the violence:
I dont like his hair.
he’s republican
he kicked my cat
Ive never been polled and barely answer my phone in years without knowing who it is.
I rarely answer my phone, but they find me.
I tell them I am not interested *click*
“There is a storm coming regardless of who wins”
A hard rain’s gonna fall.
That’s what 0bama wanted.
So let's take a peek at the Swing States over the last 2 months, as the nation gets really tired, really fast, of the "protest" violence and destruction...
WISCONSIN
CNBC 06/28: Biden +8%
CNBC 08/28: Biden +4%
ARIZONA
CNBC 07/12: Biden +6%
CNBC 08/23: Biden +2%
NORTH CAROLINA
CNBC 07/22: Biden +7%
CNBC 08/23: Biden +1%
FLORIDA
Quinnipiac 07/21: Biden +13%
Quinnipiac 09/01: Biden +3%
PENNSYLVANIA
FOX 07/21: Biden +11%
Rasmussen 08/23: TIED 46-46
For those keeping score at home, that's 5 of the 6 Swing States, and all are trending towards Trump, by 4, 4, 6, 10, and 11 points respectively in the last 6-8 weeks.
(MICH is the 6th Swing State, and it has held steady for 2 months... the polls differ in the amount of Biden's lead, but every outlet reports the same numbers now as 2 months ago, whatever they had back then.)
If I don’t recognize a person or number on my phone, I hit the block button.
Lets boogie!
Slow Joe is making the shift now.
GREAT!!! Now how many of the idiots and fools will blame Trump and not the stinking communist dimocrat homo lovers? 98%????
Only 5 percent blame joe Biden. Id probably not blame him either. Not much he can do from the basement. I blame the individual mayors myself.
So, do the 90% want MORE rioting and devastation or LESS?
Im guessing the substantial oversampling of Democrats in the 2016 election pales in comparison to the 2020 oversampling of Democrats.
“26 percent, said they believed Trump was “most responsible” for the violence in cities, while 20 percent laid blame on police brutality”
My GOD people are stupid.
“some have devolved into rioting”
Way to do the understatement.
Jackasses.
