Poll Shows 55% of Voters Concerned for Trump’s Safety at January 19 Inauguration, Including 80% of Republicans

A recent Rasmussen Reports poll indicates that 55% of likely U.S. voters are concerned about the safety of President-elect Donald Trump during his inauguration scheduled for January 19, 2025. The poll reveals varying levels of concern among different political affiliations: 80% of Republicans, 52% of Independents, and 37% of Democrats expressed worry for Trump's safety. This heightened concern follows reports of two assassination attempts against Trump during his campaign. The inauguration will be held indoors, a decision some commentators suggest may be influenced by security considerations, although officials have cited weather conditions as a primary reason for the change in venue.
