Poll: Most Americans expect another assassination attempt

Most Americans expect another assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump before Election Day, according to a new survey.

Rasmussen Reports on Tuesday released the poll, which found that 65% of those surveyed said they expect another assassination attempt against Trump, who has already survived two this year.

The poll found that nearly two thirds of likely voters “say it is likely that there will be more assassination attempts against Trump between now and Election Day, including 32% who believe it’s Very Likely.”

“Just 21% don’t think another assassination attempt is likely, while 14% are not sure,” Rasmussen said.

The survey queried 1,114 likely voters Sept. 18-19 and Sept. 22, just days after the second attempt on Trump’s life this year, where a would-be assassin waited 12 hours in shrubbery along the golf course where Trump was golfing before a U.S. Secret Service agent spotted him.

Over the summer, another would-be assassin nearly fatally shot the former president in Butler County, Penn., during a rally. That shooter was killed by the Secret Service, which was widely criticized for its poor preparation and response to the assassination.

The Secret Service’s head has since resigned and been replaced, and the agency is facing ongoing scrutiny.
