POLL: 64% Oppose Trump Pardoning Capitol Rioters
Scripps News reports:
Just over two weeks since sending Donald Trump back to the White House, Americans are hopeful the president-elect can quickly improve their personal finances, but remain deeply divided on many of his most talked about campaign promises, a new Scripps News/Ipsos poll found.
That includes pardoning the more than 1,500 people charged with crimes related to the January 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol. Sixty-four percent of respondents said they opposed the pardons, including 68% of independents. Still, more than half of Republicans (56%) said they would support it.
