Big Majority Says Capitol Attack Was Planned

· Leave a Comment

A new Quinnipiac poll finds that Americans, by a 64% to 30% margin, believe that the January 6 attack at the U.S. Capitol was planned rather than spontaneous.

However, Americans are split about whether or not they think Donald Trump committed a crime with his efforts to change the results of the 2020 presidential election, with 46% saying he did commit a crime and 47% saying he did not commit a crime.

Same Election. Different Stories.

Election Day brings a flood of political news — and which sources you follow can shape the story you see.

That's why I appreciate what Ground News does. It shows how the same story is covered across the political spectrum — and highlights important stories that one side may be ignoring entirely.

And when the votes are counted and everyone starts debating what they mean, it's a useful way to get a broader view.
