Poll: Americans see Jan. 6 hearings as politically biased and anti-Trump

For the first statement, a clear plurality of 46% agreed that the Jan. 6 panel had been “handpicked” to represent Democrats views, versus 35% who disagreed.

But the political breakdown for the poll, which has a margin of error of +/-2.5 percentage points, gets interesting.

No shock that Republicans agree with the statement overwhelmingly, by 64% (agree) to 22% (disagree). But even among Democrats, 43% agreed the Jan. 6 committee shows a pro-Democrat bias, versus 44% who disagreed. That’s within the poll’s margin of error.

Independents were likewise evenly split, 38% to 38%.

Adding further intrigue to the numbers, white and black/hispanic groups were surprisingly close. For white Americans, 45% agreed, 38% disagreed. For blacks/hispanics, it was 50% to 29%.
