The poll from Axios-Momentive showed that 57% of respondents said that they thought an attack like Jan.6 would happen again in the next few years. A total of 70% of Democrats said they held this belief, compared to 47% of Republicans, the survey found. Sixty-three percent of all respondents also said Jan.6 changed the way Americans think about the government. Roughly one-third of respondents said the change was temporary while a similar percentage said it was permanent. When divided by party,81% of Democrats held this belief compared to 52% of Republicans. Just ahead of the one-year anniversary of the attack,58 percent of Americans surveyed said they support the work of the House select committee investigating Jan.
