POLL: Majority Of Dems 'Unsure' Or Say U.S. Would Be Better Off If Trump Was Assassinated

A majority of Democrats are either "unsure" or believe that the United States would be better off if former President Donald Trump was assassinated, according to a shocking new poll.

The poll surveyed 1,000 likely voters and was conducted by RMG Research president Scott Rasmussen in conjunction with Napolitan News. Results were collected between September 16 and 17, meaning that the July 13 assassination attempt that killed one and wounded three others, including the former president, as well the most recent attempt on Trump's life on September 15, had taken place.

An astonishing 17 percent of respondents indicated that America "would have been better off" if Trump had been murdered at his West Palm Beach golf course this past Sunday. "The desensitization of some Americans following the second assassination attempt of former President Trump is alarming," Napolitan News noted.

That figure includes 28 percent of Democrat respondents, while an additional 24 percent of candidates stated that they were "unsure" whether the murder of a democratically-elected presidential candidate would be good or bad. Fewer than half (48%) of Democrats could bring themselves to say that America would not be better off if the opposing party's candidate for president had been assassinated," the outlet noted.

"It is hard to imagine a greater threat to democracy than expressing a desire to have your political opponent murdered," Rasmussen said in response to the shocking results.

Despite two attempts on the former president's life in less than 100 days, 51 percent of Democrat respondents said there is no reason to increase security around Trump. Among all voters, 62 percent think Trump's security should be increased while 32 percent disagree.

A large number of Democrat respondents, 49 percent, believe it is "at least somewhat likely that Trump himself or the Trump campaign was involved with the assassination attempt, with 21% saying it was very likely." Results were somewhat similar among Republican respondents, 52 percent of whom believe it is "somewhat likely" that the Democratic Party or the Harris campaign was involved.

"These results are the latest evidence of how polarized the electorate has become this election season. Voters for both Trump and Harris overwhelmingly say they can't understand how a reasonable person could vote for Trump or Harris," Napolitan News wrote.

Rasmussen remains optimistic that "America's best days are still to come."

"However, for years I've been saying that things will get worse before they get better. These numbers suggest that the phase of getting worse is clearly upon us," he added.
