Over the weekend, the Senate voted to acquit former president Donald Trump of inciting an insurrection in connection with the Capitol riot that broke out on January 6. While some Republican senators sided with the slim Democratic majority seeking to impeach Trump, efforts to secure a conviction fell 10 votes short of the 67-vote threshold needed.
And based on the results of a poll released on February 16, it seems that a similar division regarding the former president's responsibility for the riot is going on in the court of public opinion.
