A recent survey conducted by Scott Rasmussen’s Napolitan News Institute found that 28% of Democrats believe the U.S. would be better off if former President Donald Trump had been killed during one of the two assassination attempts on his life. The poll, taken after the second attempt on Trump’s life last Sunday, showed that 17% of all registered voters held this view.

The survey, which included 1,000 registered voters, also examined opinions on the motivations behind the assassination attempts. Forty-five percent of respondents suggested anti-Trump rhetoric was a primary factor, while 41% pointed to media coverage as a possible influence.

Regarding the attackers, 46% of voters believed they were "crazed individuals," while 33% thought they might be part of an organized effort. The poll also revealed that some respondents were open to conspiracy theories, with 37% suggesting government agencies could have been involved. Thirty-four percent considered the possibility of Democratic candidate Kamala Harris’s campaign being connected, and 33% speculated on potential foreign involvement.

The survey had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.
