In the Marquette poll, taken days after Kirk was killed, 15% of Democrats agreed with the statement that it is "justified for Americans today to resort to violence in order to achieve political goals." That was higher than for independents (12%) and Republicans (6%).
The Reuters/Ipsos poll found a similar disparity when asking whether it is acceptable "for someone in my political party to commit violence to achieve a political goal." Among Democrats, 7% said yes, more than twice the rate of Republicans. (A differently phrased question found similar results between the parties.)
Meanwhile, poll breakdowns by ideology rather than partisanship show even more dramatic differences.
The Marquette poll found fully one-quarter of self-described "very liberal" respondents agreed that it is "justified for Americans today to resort to violence in order to achieve political goals." "Very conservative" respondents agreed at a lower rate, 10%.

And they always claims it’s because we’re violent, yet they cannot point to anything. They’ve just created this web of lies to protect their fragile little minds.
