Four years later, the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol continues to be met with disapproval from a large and bipartisan majority of Americans, although Republicans' disapproval has become more tempered, a trend that first emerged in CBS News polling just months after the attack.
The percentage of Republicans who strongly disapprove of the Jan. 6 attack has dropped more than 20 points since January 2021 — from 51% then to 30% now — the lowest level since the attack, recent CBS News polling shows.
Along with that softening of disapproval comes majority-Republican support for Donald Trump to pardon those who forced their way into the Capitol, something most Americans overall would oppose.
