Turns out that 41% of Americans are incredibly stupid

And here you were, thinking that the number was higher. :)


Pointed toward this by Taegan Goddard's Political Wire.


From the ABCNews story about the poll -

Majority of Americans think Jan. 6 attack threatened democracy: POLL

Nearly a year after the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, a strong majority of Americans condemn it and believe former President Donald Trump is at least partially to blame. But partisan splits have hardened over time, with Republicans still largely backing Trump's version of events, a new ABC/Ipsos poll finds.

An overwhelming majority (72%) of Americans believe the people involved in the attack on the Capitol were "threatening democracy," while 1 in 4 Americans believes that the individuals involved were "protecting democracy." Broken down by party identification, Democrats are nearly unanimous (96%) in believing that those involved in the attacks were threatening democracy. Republicans are more split, with 45% saying it was a threat and 52% saying those involved in the riot were "protecting democracy."


Where did I get the "41%" figure?


From the Ipsos study/topline -


This is in line with other Trump approval ratings.
