They were presented with answers including "Not at all," "A little," "A moderate amount," A lot," and "A great deal." The poll was conducted with 8,280 interviews.

"The graph Peterson shared shows several political groups and the percentage of respondents who answered"Not at all" to the question: "How much do you feel it is justified for people to use violence to pursue their political goals in this country?
