A majority of Republican voters surveyed in a new poll said President-elect Joe Biden is at fault for the actions of President Donald Trump’s supporters who stormed the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday.
The poll, which surveyed 1,448 registered voters on Wednesday, found 52% of Republicans said Biden was at least somewhat to blame for the violence at the Capitol while 28% of surveyed Republicans said it was Trump’s fault. Twenty-six percent of Republicans said the congressional Republicans who said they would vote against certifying Biden’s presidential win were to blame. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.3 percentage points.
A majority of registered voters — 55% — said Trump is “a great deal to blame,” and 50% said it was “appropriate” to remove Trump from office due to the violence at the Capitol.
