Contributing sentiments towards policy:
66% : Critics allege that Trump has often said just enough for extremists to think they have his blessing.54% : Trump "has quite literally released people who we know are ready, willing, and able to target Congress as it performs its constitutional functions," says Noll.
48% : That much was clear Monday night, when Trump made good on his pledge to exonerate the mob that stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
38% : "I worry that it will embolden people to engage in political violence, so long as they are acting in service to the leader," says Barbara McQuade, a former U.S. Attorney.
37% : "I think the message they'll hear is that Trump is one of them -- and Trump has their back." After the Jan. 6 rampage, fears of violence spurred prominent anti-Trump lawmakers including Mitt Romney, Liz Cheney, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to spend tens of thousands of dollars in campaign funds on private security details.
28% : Former prosecutors and legal experts fear it has far-reaching implications for the rule of law in the coming years, sending a message to Trump fanatics that they can commit crimes on the President's behalf with impunity.
21% : Trump and his allies have sought to recast the insurrection as an act of patriotism, and the prosecution of rioters as a grave injustice.
20% : "If they are worried that Donald Trump's rhetoric will unleash political violence against them and will then be pardoned," she says, "I could see people engaging in self-censorship to avoid becoming a target of political violence."
