A Third Say Violence Against Government Is Justified

A new Washington Post-University of Maryland poll finds “the percentage of Americans who say violent action against the government is justified at times stands at 34%, which is considerably higher than in past polls by The Post or other major news organizations dating back more than two decades.”

And the view is partisan: “The new survey finds 40 percent of Republicans, 41 percent of independents and 23 percent of Democrats saying violence is sometimes justified.”
