Scott Rasmussen's Number of the Day for January 28, 2021
The Number of the Day columns published on Ballotpedia reflect the views of the author.
January 28, 2021: Just over three weeks ago, violence broke out in Washington, D.C., as a group of protesters occupied the U.S. Capitol in an effort to disrupt the confirmation of President Biden’s Electoral College victory. Eighty-two percent (82%) of voters nationwide disapprove of those who took part.[1]
Disapproval came from 71% of Republicans. In fact, even among those who believe President Donald Trump was the legitimate winner of Election 2020, 58% rejected the assault on the Capitol.[2]
However, fully one-third of all voters (33%) believe that most Trump voters supported the attack on the Capitol. That figure includes a solid plurality of Democrats (46%).[2]
