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.

Narrative. Must plug narrative. Keep plugging narrative to all those mind-numbed robots. Tzzzzt.
“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.”
The true culprits were the Democrat mayors and Governors who chose to condone the violence rather than enforce the law. Did this poll even offer them as a choice for who to blame for violence and unrest in cities?
Of course not, which is why the poll is complete garbage - nothing but Leftist propaganda.
A multiple-choice question, the correct answer for which was not even included among the choices! Pathetic.

OK. So what did the other 49% say?
That would be the DNC.....
And here is the cause of a lot of it:
