According to a new Rasmussen Reports national phone and online survey, 65 percent of likely voters said they think it is likely undercover government agents helped provoke the so-called Jan. 6 riot.
That includes 46 percent who said it is very likely.
Just 26 percent said they do not believe the riot was likely provoked by government agents, including 12 percent who said they think it is not at all likely the riot was provoked by government agents.
It is a brief bump from 61 percent who said it is likely prior to Tucker Carlson airing security footage from that day.
Even a majority of Democrats — 59 percent — said it is at least somewhat likely undercover government agents helped provoke the Capitol riot.
