Poll: Decreasing Number of Americans Say Trump ‘Solely’ Responsible for Jan 6 Riots

A new poll shows that only forty-five percent of Americans say Trump is “solely” or “mainly” responsible for the January 6 riots.

NBC recently conducted a poll, surveying Americans on a variety of social and political issues.

One of the questions surrounded Trump’s responsibility for the January 6 riots, asking to what degree he should be held accountable for the actions of the rioters.

“Thinking about the protests that led to rioters overtaking the U.S. Capitol on January sixth (6th), twenty twenty-one (2021), how responsible is Donald Trump for these actions,” the poll asked.

Forty-five percent said they thought Trump was “solely” or “mainly” responsible, with the remaining fifty-five percent saying he was “only somewhat” or “not really” responsible.

The percentage of respondents who found Trump to be “solely” or “mainly” responsible dropped by seven compared to a poll taken shortly after the riots, while the “not really responsible” camp grew by six percent.
