YouGov/HuffPost’s latest research shows that while a large majority of Americans (65%) and Republicans (55%) say that protestors at political rallies do not deserve to get ‘roughed up’, a significant minority of Republicans (27%) do think that protestors are rallies deserve to be ‘roughed up’. Most Americans (59%) do, however, think that it is acceptable to remove protestors from rallies.

Americans narrowly say that the protestors (44%) are to blame for the recent violence at Trump campaign events, though 37% place most of the blame on Trump himself. Unsurprisingly responses differ widely according to political affiliation. While 58% of Democrats primarily blame Trump, 70% of Republicans blame the protestors.
