A majority of Republican voters surveyed in a new YouGov Direct poll believe that President-elect Joe Biden is to blame for the group of President Trump’s supporters who stormed the Capitol Wednesday.
According to the poll, which surveyed nearly 1,450 registered voters on the events at the Capitol, found that among Republicans, 52 percent identified Biden as the biggest culprit, rather than Trump himself.
Comparatively, just 26 percent of Republican voters blamed the president for inciting the violence, while another 26 percent pointed fingers at congressional Republicans who vowed to block the official tally of Biden's presidential win.

Despite the view of Biden’s responsibility among a large portion of Republicans, a majority of all voters surveyed in the YouGov poll, 55 percent, said that Trump is “a great deal to blame.”
Republicans were also divided in their support for Wednesday’s events, with 45 percent of registered GOP voters saying they actively supported the actions of the demonstrators, with 43 percent opposing.
Among all voters, nearly two-thirds, or 63 percent, said they “strongly” opposed the actions of those who stormed the Capitol, and 62 percent said they viewed the events as a threat to democracy.
While 59 percent of voters who were aware of Wednesday’s events at the Capitol said they viewed them as more violent than peaceful, 58 percent of Republicans said the opposite, believing the actions of protesters were largely peaceful.
Among voters surveyed in YouGov’s poll, 50 percent agree with immediately removing Trump from office, while 42 percent see such a move as inappropriate. Meanwhile, 85 percent of Republicans strongly oppose the move.
The survey, conducted in the early evening Wednesday, reported a 3.3 percent margin of error.

So that would be a majority of voters then, no?
Blame is on much, much more than Biden.
There were more than a few Antifa and demonrat baddies there.
OOPS, the narrative isn’t being believed? Media HOWLS incoming!
Not only that I bet they planned it.
Sarah Palin has a picture of an antifa guy that led protest 6 months ago, wearing the exact same outfit, leading the violence in the capital
A poll I can get behind.
Fox News is tanked. May it stay tanked.

I blame the creepy unrelenting propaganda by the media. They are supposed to be factual and unbiased and they are instead closer to old Soviet state media.
Poll at the height of thr propaganda. Fake news
I blame #PontiusPence
Of course we blame BYE-DON. He is on video telling us how he has the greatest voter fraud cheat system. He will NEVER be my President!
The blame falls flatly on the Democrats in Congress and the corrupt media.
If the Election had been fair (no matter who won) none of this would have happened.
Just like if the Communist Chinese didn’t let the Kung Flu Virus spread worldwide none of this would have happened.
Voters get it. McConnell doesn’t get it. Pence doesn’t get it. Rand Paul doesn’t get it. Is there a single GOP Congressman who understands what is going on here?
Ashli’s husband, though grieved, could call a press conference and say:
“I have asked for this press conference to let you know who I believe killed my lovely wife: YOU! The members of mainstream media! And your accessories in this crime: the Democratic Party! Your hatred for President Trump has been taken to levels of insanity; the endless telling of lies to the American people! Without your insane desire to manipulate the people of this nation there would not have been this protest! YOU killed her!!!
That is the problem. The presumption is that Trump supporters broke into the Capitol when it looks like this was leftists who did it.
Mostly peaceful.....and not one building burned or business looted.
That need to be our consistent reply.
LOL. Biden didn’t do a damn thing. He sat in his basement, as a vast machine of tens of thousands, funded by tech oligarchs stole the election for the Left.
