More than a quarter of Democrats in a new poll said America would be better off if former President Donald Trump had been killed in Sunday's assassination attempt.
The poll from Scott Rasmussen's Napolitan News Institute asked 1,000 registered voters this week: "While it is always difficult to wish ill of another human being, would America be better off if Donald Trump had been killed last weekend?"
"Among all voters, 62% think Trump’s security should be increased and 32% disagree," a news release accompanying the poll said.
In July, Trump was grazed in the ear when a gunman on a nearby roof opened fired at a Trump campaign rally in Butler, Pa., killing one spectator and wounding two others, in addition to striking Trump.
That's according to the poll of 1,000 registered voters taken after authorities on Sunday spotted a man armed with an assault-style rifle and scope hiding in bushes near Trump's West Palm Beach golf club while the former president played.
Authorities say Routh pointed the barrel of his rifle through a chain-link fence toward the golf course, was spotted by a Secret Service agent, who fired at Routh.
Among Democrats surveyed, 28% responded "yes."
