Less Than Half Think Trump Responsible for Capitol Riot

“Just 45% of Americans say Donald Trump is ‘solely’ or ‘mainly’ responsible for the rioters who overtook the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6 attack, versus a combined 55% who say the former president is only somewhat responsible or not really responsible,” according to a new NBC News poll.

T”hat’s a shift from the Jan. 2021 NBC poll — taken days after the attack — when 52% said Trump was either solely or mainly responsible, compared with 47% who disagreed.”
