The Percentage of Americans Supporting Violence in the U.S.

Some polling suggested that support for political violence might be as high as 30 or forty % of the public. We re examined those findings based on a critique offered by some other political scientist, and we changed the question word to make sure it was clear what respondents were really endorsing. And when we did that, we found that the percentage of americans who will explicitly endorse physical violence is load amid single digits, typically. So i think that's at least something we can build on as we try to rebuild a consensus tot what happened on january sixth was wrong.
