The 813 registered Utah voters were asked, “Do you think violence against the government can be justified or is never justified?” Here are some of the results from the poll. 43% of Utahns are "very concerned" with political violence in the United States 85% are at least concerned with political violence 62% of those age 18-34 say violence against the government can be justified 65% of Latter-day Saint members say that violence against government can never be justified “The findings suggest that perspectives on political violence are deeply influenced by identity and ideology,” said Jason Perry, director of the Hinckley Institute of Politics. “Since 2020, our nation has seen unprecedented demonstrations, both peaceful and violent," he said.
