Over the weekend, I did a poll of Trump voters after the storming of the U.S. Capitol.

I asked them what was the greatest threat to America’s security. Their top responses:

• Socialism: 𝟭𝟲%
• The Radical Left: 𝟭𝟱%
• Fake News Media: 𝟭𝟱%

More findings in this thread…

I asked 800 Trump voters about the 2020 election.

• 78% agree with Trump’s claims that it was “stolen.”

• 67% believe if you count the votes “accurately and fairly,” Trump would win.

Respondents were weighted to reflect the Trump electorate by age, gender, ethnicity and edu.

I asked Trump voters about last week’s storming of the U.S. Capitol:

• 25% say Trump is responsible for what happened.

• 60% say Mike Pence acted more appropriately afterward than Trump did.

• 38% call the participants “domestic terrorists” while 24% say they’re “patriots."

I asked Trump voters who they held most responsible for last week’s storming of the U.S. Capitol.

Here’s who they blamed:

• Antifa: 𝟮𝟭%
• Democrats: 𝟭𝟳%
• Trump supporters: 𝟭𝟮%
• News media: 𝟭𝟭%
• President Trump: 𝟭𝟭%

This question had the most ominous responses from Trump voters:

I asked them if they may have to use force to “save the traditional American way of life.”

𝟲𝟰% of them agreed. 😳

Never say “never,” but 𝟲𝟭% of Trump voters say they will never trust American election results again.

⅓ of Trump voters (𝟯𝟰%) believe he has “damaged the dignity of the presidency.”

¼ of Trump voters (𝟮𝟳%) believe he is “a clear and present danger” to the safety of the American people and our democracy.

𝟱𝟬% of Trump voters believe he should "continue his fight to remain President."

𝟱𝟭% say they’d tell him to run again in 2024, while 𝟯𝟭% say he should retire from politics.

𝟯𝟱% of Trump voters say they’d rather vote for someone else in 2024.

Among the choice of other candidates, Mike Pence currently leads the pack.

𝟳𝟯% of Trump voters consider themselves “Republican-first” voters, compared to 𝟮𝟳% who are “Trump-first" voters.

Surprisingly, 𝟳𝟯% of Trump voters say they never followed him on Twitter. (Only about 20% of U.S. adults have a Twitter account.)

𝟳𝟯% of Trump voters still say the election system is “rigged,” even after being reminded that Trump and his allies lost more than 60 cases in court challenging election results.

Despite their criticism of his conduct since November 3rd and last week, 𝟵𝟭% of Trump voters say they’d still vote for him if another presidential election were held today.
