Nearly a year after the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, a strong majority of Americans condemn it and believe former Pres. Trump is at least partially to blame, new ABC News/Ipsos poll finds.

On Jan. 6, 2021, pro-Trump rioters broke into the U.S. Capitol. The attack resulted in deaths, injuries, more than 700 arrests and former President Donald Trump's second impeachment., a strong majority of Americans condemn it and believe former President Donald Trump is at least partially to blame. But partisan splits have hardened over time, with Republicans still largely backing Trump's version of events, a new ABC/Ipsos poll finds.

An overwhelming majority of Americans believe the people involved in the attack on the Capitol were"threatening democracy," while 1 in 4 Americans believes that the individuals involved were"protecting democracy." Broken down by party identification, Democrats are nearly unanimous in believing that those involved in the attacks were threatening democracy.

The ABC/Ipsos poll, which was conducted by Ipsos in partnership with ABC News using Ipsos' KnowledgePanel, also shows strongly aligned views among Democrats regarding Trump's responsibility for the attack, with 91% believing Trump bears either"a great deal" or"a good amount" of responsibility for it. On the other hand, a strong majority of Republicans believe the former president bears"just some" or no responsibility for the day's events.

These figures are strikingly consistent with polling taken in the immediate aftermath of Jan. 6, despite efforts by Trump to recast the narrative andinvestigating the Jan. 6 attack from obtaining records from his administration. Overall, in this poll, 58% of Americans think Trump bears a"great deal" or a"good amount" of responsibility for the events, unchanged from

So politicians were so Scard for there Lives But,The Democrats did nothing for the USACitizens that got Terrorized For 4 LONG MONTHS from the Deadly BLM RIOTS The RadicalLefties even POSTED BAIL to get arrested thugs OUT, So that they could BURN LOOT BEAT KILL AGAIN?

But who is RayEpps ?

Yup, now poll the other 40+ percent. Please, stop pushing the divide

So what. He’s immune to the touch. We’re not about to see any GOP senators or reps indicted either. They should just call off the Congressional enquiry show— it’s boring.

The other 42% are incapable of thinking. Got it!

Hahahahahhaha fake news.

That resulted in nothing except an innocent unarmed woman being killed by the police

Just want to say a very big thank you to Mrs AmelieBtc1 and her company platform for their transparency, I had doubts at first but seeing I got paid I deemed it necessary to share with the general public and to let them know that you can be truly trusted..thank you so much

Partly? Bullshit! He created the whole damn thing with his cronies. The most dishonest, crooked man who ever lived. He makes me 🤮

NO ONLY THE DEMOCRATS THINK THAT JOE BIDEN GAVE A SPEECH THAT DAY TOO. HOW COME THEY ARENT SHOWING IT NOW

There is never enough evidence to sway the true believer and there is never enough evidence to sway the dis believer

Trump supporters aren’t the brightest bulbs.

No duh...

Wrong, why didn't leadership in Congress and Senate allow more police and nation guard.

At least !! He’s full responsible, 100%, lock him up for good !

Was it an insurrection or attack on the U.S. Capitol? And with the ongoing/non stop Orange Man Bad stories, not surprising what a majority of Americans believe. Even the willfully ignorant are beginning to figure out whats (been) going on!

GStephanopoulos Yep funded by George souris and Clinton's lol

GStephanopoulos Like George souris i bet funded it..imagine that

GStephanopoulos It “appeared” to be…. This is considered news?

GStephanopoulos There are election thieves complicit in the November 3-4 coup d’état of the USA 🇺🇸 and many are on the hook for treason 🪝 People want leaders that see that those who’ve introduced vulnerabilities, exploited vulnerabilities, and covered for them are prosecuted.

GStephanopoulos HeadlinerClip caption

GStephanopoulos Same old Russia collusion conspiracy BS.

GStephanopoulos I pray each day that our nation will deliver Justice, and the true spirit of America will live on. To quote Woody Guthrie: “This land was made for you and me.”

GStephanopoulos aku ini awalnya apa....?

GStephanopoulos This was and IS a Political Tactic ginned up by the DNC...like the Impeachments...designed to weaken Trump and the GOP. Problem is, Democrats ALWAYS OVERPLAY THEIR HAND...as they are now. LOL

GStephanopoulos WHEN you ties ANYONE WHO RIOTED...and planned to enter the Building, to ANY REPUBLICAN LEADER, let us all know. Until then it's just pure speculation.

GStephanopoulos Well duh Ya think so When Flynn Bros Rump Congress members said so over and over

GStephanopoulos On Thursday it’ll be ONE YEAR since the insurrection. The warnings about it in the thread below began on Nov. 11, 2020, eight weeks before the insurrection. The threat continues. Please read & watch the thread below. NoOneUnscripted

Billionaire club in bid to curb overpopulation Times of London - May 24, 2009 Gates, Soros, Rockefeller, Buffett and others...met to talk about overpopulation. A year later the Rockefeller PANDEMIC scenario was published. PDF:

I’m not a believer in “ stop the steal “ but do believe that we as Americans have the right to challenge decisions made by elected officials, especially if you don’t support these decisions and the whole premise of them saying we are doing this for your benefit is BS.

An Attack on the very Foundation of Democracy is the Undermining of every tenet Americans hold dear BUT also undeniably treasonous by its nature All Politicians who stood idly by & or defend this Act are Traitors to their own Country & it’s Peoples January6 FactsMatter

Yes They Protected Democracy.. Just Like Bank Robbers Borrowed The Money During A Bank Heist.

Those 52% of Rep. who do not believe there was an insurrection, I have only one thing to say. 'You must be stupid. '

The Election was stolen, come on Biden couldn't fill a small parking lot during the Election Campain on the road, with people. Most votes of Any President in the history USA Elections. Come on. They really were protecting democracy. People were fed up.

This is utter horseshit.

Oh good lord give it a break. Stop stoking the fire for your Democratic master. Biden is the President now. Perhaps give a true evaluation of his performance instead of playing protector for your master.

Would that be the Democrats in the polls? Of course it's more than half that think that. Ever poll has at least 50+% asked.

And only 1 in 5 trust Govt.. what are you trying to say?

How foolish you look and sound!

AshliBabbitt

A strong majority That sounds really made up...I think more people agree with it even more now than they did back then....This is the year main stream media will see just how we the people feel about them...enjoy your lies for now!!!!

Trump not partially responsible. Fully responsible.

If it happens again, I favor using deadly force.

Partially to blame? Please.

He is and that NOTWITHSTANDING & after the slow drip outta of DOJPH Durham concerning YEARS of LIES & FAKE FBI dossiers coupled with COPIOUS other factors of POLITICAL making so is the 2 above aforementioned & 3/4 MEDIA BUT U HAVE TO HAVE A GRASPING MIND to UNDERSTAND 1062021

Ray Ebbs... Say his name.

Fake news but to the lemmings......

Not true it was Soros, Black lives matter, and antifa who did that!!!!!!

Its the inflation that's killing America, stupid.

If that’s an accurate number, which, considering who did the poll makes it highly unlikely- then 58% of Americans have no clue as to what REALLY happened.. but they will. Fake insurrection

In common sense math, it's closer to 70%

Regardless of polls’ results, get ready for Mr. Trump’s 2024 decisive victory.

Can we do a mental wellness check on 42% of Americans?

We're a year out and you're still griping about this non-event? Get over yourselves and learn to do actual journalism.

It would be a real shock if ABC and any other organization found ways to allow some of the rest of us to share our views.although I am still within in that 58 % just would like to know we are considered too.

ABC News needs to update there poll it's a year old

As someone who cares about the viability of American democracy and rule of law, this horribly low poll number is very concerning.

No doubt, it is political persecution.

Not partially, Donald Trump is fully to blame.

The January 6th attack was a failed coup d’état. It is shameful and poor reporting to pretend it was anything but that.

He’s more than partially to blame

Horse shit.
