Contributing sentiments towards policy:

48% : A September University of Chicago/NORC survey, however, found "disturbingly high levels of support for political violence" and it was bipartisan, said Robert A. Pape, a political science professor at the University of Chicago, where he directs the Chicago Project on Security and Threats. Nearly 6 percent of respondents agreed or strongly agreed that the "use of force is justified" to restore Trump to the presidency.
33% : Drop boxes, long used in some states to accept mail-in ballots, were not controversial until Trump raised fears about their security in 2020.
32% : A little more than 8 percent agreed or strongly agreed that force was justified to prevent Trump from becoming president.
