Poll: Most Americans Disagree with Will Smith Assaulting Chris Rock

Most Americans disagree with Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars on Sunday over a joke the comedian made about the actor’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, according to a recent survey.

A Rasmussen survey found that 55 percent of American adults disagreed with Smith’s behavior, with 38 percent reporting that they “strongly disagreed.” Meanwhile, just 36 percent of Americans said they agreed with the assault, including 15 percent who “strongly agree.”

The survey, which included 1,000 U.S. American adults, was conducted on March 29 and 30 by Rasmussen Reports. The polling company noted that the margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95 percent level of confidence.
