With the first full week of hearings for the House select committee’s investigation into the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol now complete, nearly 6 in 10 Americans believe former President Donald Trump should be charged with a crime for his role in the incident, a\u00a0new ABC News\/Ipsos poll<\/a>\u00a0finds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Six in 10 Americans also believe the committee is conducting a fair and impartial investigation, according to the poll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the poll, which was conducted by Ipsos in partnership with ABC News using Ipsos’ KnowledgePanel, 58% of Americans think Trump should be charged with a crime for his role in the riot. That’s up slightly from late April, before the hearings began when an ABC News\/Washington Post poll\u00a0found that<\/a>\u00a052% of Americans thought the former president should be charged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An ABC News\/Washington Post poll that asked a similar question days after the attack in January 2021 found that<\/a> 54% of Americans thought Trump should be charged with the crime of inciting a riot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Attitudes on whether Americans think Trump is responsible for the attack on the U.S. Capitol remain relatively stable. In the new ABC News\/Ipsos poll, 58% of Americans think Trump bears a “great deal” or a “good amount” of responsibility for the attack on the Capitol. This is unchanged from an ABC News\/Ipsos poll in December 2021 and similar to the findings of an ABC News\/Washington Post poll conducted just after the attack in January 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The poll divides along party lines, with 91% of Democrats thinking Trump should be charged with a crime compared to 19% of Republicans. On whether Trump bears a “great deal” or a “good amount” of responsibility for the attack, 91% of Democrats and 21% of Republicans say he does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among self-described independents, 62% think Trump should be charged and 61% think he bears a “great deal” or a “good amount” of responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ABC News\/Ipsos poll was conducted after the committee held its third of seven public hearings scheduled for this month, which detail what the committee says was a “sophisticated, seven-part plan” by Trump and his supporters to overturn his 2020 election loss to President Joe Biden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Friday, Trump lambasted the hearing<\/a>, calling the panel “con artists,” while continuing to air false claims about the 2020 election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“There’s no clearer example of the menacing spirit that has devoured the American left than the disgraceful performance being staged by the unselect committee,” Trump said at a conference hosted by the Faith and Freedom Coalition in Nashville, Tennessee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, 60% of Americans think the committee is conducting a fair and impartial investigation while 38% say it is not, the new ABC News\/Ipsos poll found. That was evenly divided at 40% in the April ABC News\/Washington Post poll, which also found that 20% of Americans had no opinion on the matter just two months ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to the fairness of the committee, Americans are again divided along party lines in the latest poll, with 85% of Democrats finding the investigation fair and impartial, compared to 31% of Republicans. Independents’ views fall in-between at 63%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Democrats are more likely to be following the hearings. Overall, 34% of Americans are following the hearings very or somewhat closely, with 43% of Democrats and 22% of Republicans saying so. In a reminder of where political attention is, just under one in 10 (9%) Americans say they are following the hearings very closely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On whether the investigation will have an impact on the polls, just over half (51%) of Americans say that what they’ve read, seen or heard about the hearings has made no difference in who they plan to support in this November’s election. Meanwhile, 29% say they are more likely to support Democratic candidates and 19% say they are more likely to support Republican candidates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bipartisan committee, led by chairman Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., and vice-chair Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., is in the midst of summing up its 11-month-long investigation<\/a> into the attack. So far the hearings have largely focused on how Trump pushed the “big lie”<\/a> of a stolen 2020 race and the pressure campaign<\/a> on then-Vice President Mike Pence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The panel has also shared never-before-seen footage from the riot and interviews with the Trump administration and White House officials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This ABC News\/Ipsos poll was conducted using Ipsos Public Affairs\u2018 KnowledgePanel\u00ae June 17-18, 2022, in English and Spanish, among a random national sample of 545 adults. Results have a margin of sampling error of 4.5 points, including the design effect. Partisan divisions are 28-26-40 percent, Democrats-Republicans-independents.
