39 percent say Trump, 28 percent say media responsible for toning down rhetoric
Thirty-nine percent of voters say President Trump is the most responsible for toning down the heated partisan rhetoric in the U.S., according to a new American Barometer survey.
Twenty-eight percent said it's the media that is most responsible for toning down the rhetoric, while 24 percent said Trump's critics are most responsible, the poll conducted by Hill.TV and the HarrisX polling company found.
Nine percent said there was no need to lower the rhetoric.
The results come days after a gunman entered a Pittsburgh synagogue and killed 11 people. The suspect, Robert Bowers, had social media feeds filled with anti-semitic statements.
The violence in Pittsburgh came just a day after the arrest of a man suspected of sending pipe bombs through the mail to a number of prominent Democrats, including former President Obama. Suspect Cesar Sayoc Jr. was photographed at a Trump rally wearing a red "Make America Great Again" hat and had a Twitter feed full of political vitriol.
