Few Americans have high confidence in the Secret Service’s ability to keep presidential candidates safe after last month’s attempt on Donald Trump’s life. That's according to a new poll from the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.
FILE - Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump is surrounded by Secret Service at a campaign event in Butler, Pa., July 13, 2024. Few Americans have high confidence in the Secret Service’s ability to keep presidential candidates safe after last month’s attempt on Trump’s life. That is according to a new poll conducted July 25-29, 2024, from the AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.
Democrats were far more likely to blame the availability of guns while Republicans were more likely to blame the Secret Service. Democrats, meanwhile, are substantially more likely than independents or Republicans to say the availability of guns bears a great deal of responsibility. Six in 10 Democrats say this, compared to about one-third of independents and 15% of Republicans.
George Velasco, a 65-year-old Navy veteran from Tucson, Arizona, said he thought both the Secret Service and local law enforcement were to blame along with poor communication and a lack of proper planning.
