WASHINGTON — Most Texans remained unswayed in their beliefs about former President Donald Trump and the attack on the Capitol after the Jan. 6 House Committee hearings.
Only 20% of Texans surveyed said the hearings changed their mind about what happened at the Capitol on Jan. 6. But only 28% said Trump did nothing wrong regarding that day, while 70% say he was directly or at least encouraged those involved, according to a new Dallas Morning News-University of Texas at Tyler poll.
Roughly 18 million people watched the final prime-time committee hearing, and each one garnered an average of 13 million views, according to Bloomberg. However, it’s too early to tell if the committee succeeded in changing the minds of Republicans, and demonstrated a clear connection between the attack on the Capitol and Trump.
