Scary Poll: Insurrection or Liberation?

Unfortunately, it depends... 

YouGov Direct conducted a poll of 1,397 registered voters Wednesday night about the mayhem in the US Capitol. A majority (62%) of those asked considered the pro-Trump supporters who attacked the Congress a threat to democracy (good!). However, while 93% of Democracts and 55% Independents (only?) saw it that way, only 28% (!!) of Republicans felt the same. In fact, a greater percentage of Republicans (45%) supported the storming of the Capitol than opposed it (43%). Scary stuff. (Click to enlarge).
