(The Center Square) – 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.
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.
Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, was able to hide for several hours just outside the course. 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. The suspect was soon arrested after fleeing the scene.
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?”
Overall, 17% of Americans responded “yes,” 69% said “no,” and the remaining 14% said they were not sure. Among Democrats surveyed, 28% responded “yes.”
“It is hard to imagine a greater threat to democracy than expressing a desire to have your political opponent murdered,” Rasmussen said in a statement.
Democrats have been saying Trump represents the greatest threat to democracy in the U.S. if he is reelected.
Sunday’s attempted assassination was the second against Trump in about two months. 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.
Despite the two attempts on Trump’s life, the poll also found that a majority (51%) of Democrats don’t think his security detail should be increased.
“Among all voters, 62% think Trump’s security should be increased and 32% disagree,” a news release accompanying the poll said.
The poll has a margin of error +/- 3.1 percentage points.
The Democrat Party is a cult of Satan and its disciples hates anything that goes against their beloved cults teachings.
Have you ever noticed that by design and not coincidence the Democrat Party cult and its disciples and supporters encourage, approve of and support just about everything God has declared a Sin or an Abomination in the Holy Bible?

YET they keep claiming WE REPUBLICANS are the party of hate..
GO figure.
The lies, cons, deceptions, hypocrisy, and treachery of this Lying, destructive, corrupt, treasonous, dishonest, unethical Democrat Party cabal and their useful idiot self-serving Camal a Harris know no bounds.
Republican / Democrat … Good / Evil
Why didn’t the founding fathers put something in place to protect America from.. itself?
It’s really not correct that one party can totally control the other.
They did. The 1st and 2nd Amendments. America partied while education died, the free press and the 1st Amendment were choked off.
WHY do you think the left’s been doing all they can to CONTROL the 1st amendment, AND GUT THE 2nd!
Without those 2, they’d rule hole hock.
The vile Cult of Liberalism.
I would like to see a poll indicating the average I.Q. level of registered democrats. The results of that poll would explain the results of the poll published in this article (as well as many other abnormalities in the political situation of the United States).
They’d call that racist/sexist/homophobic etc..
FOR EVEN DARING TO ask, let alone once they see the results.
One look at Massachusetts and it’s clear we have no shortage of highly educated, and even highly intelligent, fools. The real question is how well they recognize, or are susceptible to, the social influencing techniques of behavioral scientists.
And maybe those 28% of Democrats will Experience a horrible death from criminal illegal immigrants!
IF they did, i’d shed NO TEAR!
I feel the same way about harris. The US would.be.better.off without her. But were smart and American enough to know you don’t hurt women.
Nothing new there, the democrats have always been the party of hate and racism! They invented the KKK and wouldn’t vote to pass the civil rights bill, the republicans had to get it across the finish line! And now they want their political opponents murdered!
And the weak minded still claim the democrat party is the party of inclusion and peace. What a pathetic bunch of fools.
Thing is the dem voters have seen for YEARS, what the dems are about, yet Don’t do anything about it, or worse, AGREE with it.
To me that’s not foolish, but willful complicity.
That’s what Leftism does to people.
This transcends politics and has become a good verse evil battle. Our country is in moral free fall where large segments of society lacks integrity, decency, civility, and honor. These people lack conscience and will stop at nothing to silence their opposition even if that means eliminating them. There are some very difficult days ahead because the same people who feel good about Trump’s assassination wants his supporters gone as well.
if they get control of everything you will not be going to church anymore
to hear gods word and preaching against sin will be outlawed.
99 per cent of republicans think US would be better off if Kamala go hide in a basement with Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi and ice cream for the rest of her life.
I would rather see her in a cell next to Traitor Joe’s. She owes the people of California for the Hell she unleashed on them.
Only if we can brick up the entrance to that basement!
