Majority wants Trump barred from future office: Poll

A majority of the public opposed the Jan. 6 attack on Capitol Hill that left five dead, and a majority hold President Trump accountable — saying that he should be barred from future office, according to a national poll.

Eight in 10 respondents said they “strongly” opposed “the actions of people who stormed the U.S. Capitol last week to protests Biden’s election as president,” according to a Washington Post/ABC News poll. Another 9% of respondents “somewhat” opposed the attack, and 8% of all respondents expressed some level of support.
