Following Tucker Carlson’s release of previously unseen videos from the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol, more voters now believe it may have been provoked by undercover agents.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 65% of likely U.S. voters think it’s likely that undercover government agents helped provoke the so-called J6 riot, including 46% who say it is very likely. Twenty-six percent (26%) don’t believe it is likely the riot was provoked by government agents, including 12% who think it is not at all likely. In late February, before Carlson aired the videos on Fox News, 61% thought it was likely undercover agents played a role in provoking the J6 riot. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
