A Poll Shows That Most Americans Expect a Repeat of the January 6 Capitol Attack
More than half of Americans surveyed for a new poll said they think that an event similar to the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol will likely occur in the next few years.
The poll from Axios-Momentive showed that 57 percent of respondents said that they thought an attack like Jan. 6 would happen again in the next few years. A total of 70 percent of Democrats said they held this belief, compared to 47 percent of Republicans, the survey found.
Sixty-three percent of all respondents also said Jan. 6 changed the way Americans think about the government. Roughly one-third of respondents said the change was temporary, while a similar percentage said it was permanent. When divided by party, 81 percent of Democrats held this belief compared to 52 percent of Republicans.
