New HuffPost/YouGov poll: Americans widely condemn pro-Trump mob that stormed Capitol, but many Republicans either stop short of wholly disavowing riots (46% say they "went too far, but [had] a point") or say they're not reflective of Trump's supporters. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/capitol-riot-trump-republicans-poll_n_5ff8ace9c5b63642b6fb881a …pic.twitter.com/J3VMzzSm9S
We did not ask about the baseless theory that the violence was actually caused by Trump *opponents*, but it's clearly circulating widely -- a lot of Republican respondents brought it up unprompted. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/capitol-riot-trump-republicans-poll_n_5ff8ace9c5b63642b6fb881a?b5q …pic.twitter.com/53JamfUrB8
Just 48% of Republican and Republican-leaning voters now think that most or all congressional Republicans support Trump, down from 65% in December. But 41% plurality of GOP/leaning Trump voters consider themselves more supporters of Trump than GOP, little shift from Dec.
There's also a sizable, unsurprising partisan divide over Trump's rhetoric and culpability. Overall support for his impeachment is...very close to where it was in December 2019. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/capitol-riot-trump-republicans-poll_n_5ff8ace9c5b63642b6fb881a …pic.twitter.com/9Zg8leVWkw

For context, we first asked that "mostly right/mostly wrong/went too far, but had a point" scale in the aftermath of Charlottesvillehttps://twitter.com/aedwardslevy/status/897805676180852740 …
One thing I find notable is that there isn't a totally unified GOP response to the Capitol riot. Simultaneously, you see sizable blocs: a) saying it doesn't reflect them or most Trump supporters, b) saying it went too far, but had a point and c) saying someone else did it
Will update this thread as we get more reaction polling to this week:https://twitter.com/Cmkahn/status/1347667161553186817 …
