Half of Republicans believe the left led Jan. 6 violence: Reuters/Ipsos poll Jason Lange, Reuters More than half of U.S. Republicans believe the false claim that left-wing protesters led the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riot to try to make then-President Donald Trump look bad, according to a new Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll.

A look at how Americans have viewed the Jan. 6 Capitol attack — CBS News poll analysis Jennifer De Pinto, CBS News Ahead of the House select committee's first public hearings on its investigation into the events of Jan. 6, 2021, most Americans — 70% — think it's at least somewhat important to find out what happened on that day and who was involved, according to a recent CBS News poll. But Republicans don't see it as important.
Support for controlling gun violence hits its highest point in a decade Domenico Montanaro, NPR News Following the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas, and an earlier one in Buffalo, N.Y., a majority of U.S. adults say it's more important to control gun violence than to protect gun rights, according to the latest NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll. Majorities of voters said they would definitely vote for candidates who want to increase mental health funding (86%), require stricter background checks (82%), support red flag laws (74%), want stricter gun laws generally (60%) and ban assault-style weapons, like AK-47s and AR-15s (56%).

Over 40 Percent Of Americans Now Rate Gun Violence As A Top Issue Geoffrey Skelley & Holly Fuong, FiveThirtyEight Our latest poll with Ipsos went into the field two days after the shooting in Uvalde. Voter Support for Gun Control Remains High Despite GOP Dip Eli Yokley, Morning Consult 64% of voters support stronger gun laws as lawmakers debate Uvalde, Buffalo response Majority of Voters Say Overturning Roe Won’t Impact the Likelihood of Them Voting in Midterm Elections Kaiser Family Foundation More than a third (37%) of voters say that they would be more motivated to vote in November’s Midterm Election if the Supreme Court overturns the Roe v. Wade decision establishing a constitutional right to an abortion, and this group is largely pro-choice and leans Democratic, finds a new KFF Health Tracking Poll focused on abortion issues. Asked four ways, Americans are more likely than not to want Roe v. Wade upheld Douglas Rivers, YouGov A compilation of data from four recent YouGov Polls indicates that more Americans do not want Roe v.

Americans are more worried about crime than at any other time this century Harry Enten, CNN The successful recall of progressive San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin on Tuesday is arguably the political earthquake of the year so far. Not because the result was unexpected, as polling generally suggested that Boudin would be recalled. Rather, the outcome showed that not even in the Democratic bastion of San Francisco is a progressive safe from the wrath of voters worried about crime. It was the latest sign that crime is a potent issue in municipal elections. Time for the Democrats’ Chesa Boudin Moment! Ruy Teixeira, The Liberal Patriot Democrats are hemorrhaging support among Asian voters, alienating other nonwhite voters with their lax approach to public safety and losing many formerly loyal white liberals and moderates who are “mad as hell and not going to take it anymore.” What to do? The answer seems clear to me. It’s time for Democrats to adopt former UK prime minister Tony Blair’s felicitous slogan: “Tough on crime, tough on the causes of crime.” Two Different Paths to 41% Amy Walter, Cook Political Report with Amy Walter President Biden and former president Trump don’t have a lot in common. But, they share the inauspicious distinction of having the lowest approval ratings in modern history for a president 500 days into his first term. The question now is whether the different routes to their subpar approval ratings can tell us anything about the likely outcome of the November midterm. How bad things are for Biden Aaron Blake, Washington Post It’s not just his approval rating; it’s his lack of a base Republicans Were Set to Self-destruct. Democrats Didn’t Let Them. Charlie Cook Democrats have effectively thrown the GOP a lifeline, constructing a ladder for Republicans to climb out of the demographic hole that they’ve dug for themselves.
