A majority of Americans condemn the Jan. 6 riot and believe that former President Trump bears at least some responsibility for that violent attack on the Capitol.
An ABC News-Ipsos poll found that 72 percent of Americans said the people involved in the riot were mostly threatening democracy, while 25 percent said they were mostly protecting democracy.
The poll also found that 58 percent of people surveyed said Trump bore a great deal or good amount of responsibility for the Capitol riot, while 41 percent who said he bore no or just some responsibility.
A majority of Americans also said they believed that Joe Biden’s 2020 presidential election victory was legitimate, with 65 percent of Americans agreeing. Still, one third — 33 percent — said they think Biden’s victory was not legitimate nearly one year after he was inaugurated.
The top-line findings started to diverge along partisan lines, ABC reported. For example, 45 percent of Republicans believed that the people involved in the attack on the Capitol were threatening democracy, while 52 percent felt they were protecting democracy.
In comparison, 96 percent of Democrats believed those involved in the attack were threatening democracy, ABC reported.
The new poll comes just before the one-year anniversary of the riot in which Trump supporters ransacked the Capitol to contest the election and tried to stop Congress from certifying Biden's victory.

Yep. He led his followers into a trap.
Barfing in my mouth.
Was the poll conducted in Berkeley, California, or at the University of Wisconsin, Madison?
No mention of FBI instigators or Antifa or BLM types who donned MAGA gear and caused problems.
No mention of Capitol police holding open the door saying to Trump supporters, “Come on in! This is your House!”
No mention of the widespread fraud in the November 2020 election, which was the reason for the one million people showing up at the Capitol in the first place.
Yes, MSM promotes fantasy, like transgenderism and Jan 6 folderol.
BS
BS
it certainly could be a fake poll.
however, worldwide the narrative fed to the public consisted of the John Sullivan video, the video of the cop caught in the elevator taken by the guy connected to the Young Turks, the faux outrage of the Dems and some Republicans, plus the lies of the FakeNewsMSM.
likewise, there’s no doubt a high percentage who still think the Trump Russia Collusion hoax was/is real, given FakeNewsMSM still haven’t admitted otherwise.

Or we can actually see what the other side is saying, deconstruct it and come up with a better counterargument because we need to build up our numbers by convincing people we are right and they are wrong. Hey, what am I saying, that's not how most people around here think.
My apologies
Why am I never polled in these things? I guess it’s because I screen my calls, but if millions do what I do, polls really don’t mean anything in this age.
Or we can actually see what the other side is saying, .....
Aside from the fact it’s plastered everywhere you go, Freepers are smart. If they want to read lying leftist trash they know where to go to find it. No need to bring it into our living room.
It's not plastered everywhere if conservative sites are the only sites you read. But, if you want to live in your echo chamber and shut out things you disagree with then go for it. You can always skip over anything from a site that so offends you. If you see an article from the Hill, then don't read it.
For me, it's fun to shred their arguments to pieces but that only works if you know their argument (as asinine as it may be).
ABC poll 🤔.
It’s not plastered everywhere if conservative sites are the only sites you read......
How about Breitbart?
It’s all over social media, search engines, internet home pages, side bars on your local weather report etc. I do stay on conservative sites to avoid it but some insist on dragging it into Free Republic for our “awareness.”
I didn’t read the article, only the lying headline. If I want to read their leftist trash I know where to find it.
But, if you get your amusement by engaging in empty intellectual exercises, dissecting the asinine, have at it. Only I wish you’d do it on their site not ours.
Good day.
Hey fine. We are on the same side. I do get upset reading alternate points of view but to each his own. And yes it does make me feel good to (figuratively) bi*ch slap liberals around.
SCREW THE HILL.
