Majority of voters believe Trump will pardon Jan. 6 riots

A recent poll conducted by Politico/Morning Consult has found that a majority of voters in the US believe President-elect Trump will issue pardons to those who stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2021.

According to the poll, 40% of registered voters think it’s “very likely” that Trump will grant pardons to the January 6 defendants, while 29% believe it’s “somewhat likely”. The poll was conducted among 4,012 registered voters from November 20-22, with a margin of error of plus or minus 2 percentage points.

Trump has previously stated that he would “rapidly review the cases of every political prisoner unjustly victimized by the Harris regime, and I will sign their pardons on Day 1”. This statement has sparked concerns among many Americans, who believe that pardoning the January 6 rioters would undermine the rule of law and perpetuate a culture of impunity.
