A new NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist National Poll finds that 70% of Trump voters responded “The investigation is a witch hunt” when asked how to characterize it, while 25% said “The investigation is appropriate to find out what happened on January 6th.” When asked about the Capitol riot itself, 49% of Trump fans said it was a “political protest protected under the first amendment” while 34% said it was an “unfortunate event, but in the past, so no need to worry about it anymore”, and 8% said it was “an insurrection and a threat to democracy.”
