Women are more likely than men to believe political assassination can be justified as “assassination culture” rises, according to polling exclusively obtained by The Daily Wire. Women on both the Left and the Right were 14% to 20% more likely than men to believe the political assassination of high-profile figures could be justified, the Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI) found. The poll comes amid a spike in political violence marked by the assassinations of Charlie Kirk and UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, as well as the attempt on President Donald Trump’s life. What is most surprising about the findings, according to NCRI’s co-founder Joel Finkelstein, is that those who justified political assassinations were not part of traditional high-risk groups, but people of all persuasions and demographics. “We dug into the data because this felt like it was describing a deeper moral crisis,” Finkelstein told The Daily Wire. “We assumed young men would be driving this, given unemployment, disengagement, and declining graduation rates. That’s why we explicitly examined gender. What surprised us, honestly shocked us, was that women were more likely to show tolerance for political violence.” To conduct the poll, NCRI used CloudResearch Prime Panels, from a nationally representative sample of American adults concerning political attitudes, public figures, and views on the future of the United States. Respondents were asked to rate, on a seven-point scale, “How unjustified or justified would someone be if they killed Zohran Mamdani?” and “How unjustified or justified would someone be if they killed Donald Trump?” Although women commit far fewer murders in the United States — accounting for roughly 13% of all killings over the past five years — the poll found they were more likely than men to say a political assassination could be justified. Specifically, 54.7% of women compared with 45.2% of men expressed some justification for Mamdani, while 57.1% of women expressed some justification for Trump, compared to 50.1% of men. (NCRI) Looking at the results for women alongside broader social trends, Finkelstein offered a hypothesis for the pattern. “Over the past decade, women, especially younger women have become more politically polarized, more emotionally moralized, and more immersed in online political identity formation,” he said. “That shift predates our study. What we’re seeing now may be the downstream effect of those longer-term changes.” NCRI ran a similar poll in April 2025 that specifically tracked “assassination culture” among left-leaning respondents. The survey found that 56% of participants left of center said the assassination of Trump to be justified, while 50.2% said the assassination of Elon Musk would be justified.  The results made waves in the media and were publicly shared by Charlie Kirk just five months before he himself became the target of a politically motivated assassination. In the most recent poll, assassination culture was measured by asking respondents if they believed the political murder of two high-profile figures — Trump and Mamdani — could be justified.  Among left-of-center respondents, belief that politically motivated assassination is justified rose to 67 %, while 58.1 % of centrists and 42.5 % of right-of-center respondents indicated at least some level of justification for killing Trump. Support for the assassination of Mamdani was also high, with 54 % of right-of-center respondents and 53.9 % of centrists expressing similar views along with 40.4% of left of center. NCRI said the timing of the poll captured heightened exposure to real-world violence, which they say may help explain shifts in attitudes toward its acceptability.  While respondents differed in political ideology, the poll found a common thread among those who justified political assassination: a strong belief that America is in decline. Among respondents who said assassinating Trump could be justified, 70.3 % also believed the country is in decline, while 59.8 % of those who justified the assassination of Mamdani reported the same. Social media use was linked to support for political assassination. Left-of-center respondents who used social media the most scored 50% higher on a measure of justification for murdering Trump than those who used it the least. On the right, the most active social media users scored 59 % higher on justification for murdering Mamdani compared with the least active users. Experts suggest that online platforms may amplify extreme rhetoric and normalize aggressive behavior.  “Today’s social media platforms reward outrage, absolutism, and symbolic aggression while flattening moral complexity,” Colin Wright, an evolutionary biologist and contributor to NCRI told the Daily Wire. “In these spaces, punishment is not just normalized but aestheticized. Violence is reframed as meaningful, expressive, or even admirable, which lowers the psychological barriers that usually keep it in check.” Age differences were also notable among respondents who justified political assassination. On the left, support was highest among younger adults, with 82 % of 18- to 29-year-olds indicating some level of justification. On the right, the highest support appeared among those aged 30 to 44, with 73% expressing justification.

'There's a certain degree of entitlement'

'an attempt to terrorize security forces'

'He is not entitled to cause undue delay'

'I do not want to reconcile'

'It's really frustrating'

The Democrat Left wants Americans to believe that excessively armed ICE agents in Minneapolis and elsewhere are kidnapping law-abiding immigrants en route to church or heading home from work. New Jersey congressional candidate Analilia Mejia moaned that “grandmothers and gardeners are being targeted by federal enforcement agencies with no accountability.” Attorney General Keith Ellison, D-Minn., called the people his ilk are shielding, “the most vulnerable neighbors in our community.” “They haven’t been able to produce any evidence that they are finding people who are undocumented who have committed crimes,” Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., told MS NOW’s evening anchor Chris Hayes. “It is unleashing complete terror on the residents of Minnesota.” A fresh serving of facts swiftly refuted these Leftist lies. Fox News’ intrepid, industrious Bill Melugin secured details from ICE on just 19 of its recent arrestees in Minnesota. These are not merely people of color “who want better lives,” as the cliche goes. (So what? Who doesn’t want a better life?) “It’s the most disturbing list I’ve ever seen,” Melugin wrote via X, “including numerous convicted child rapists/sodomizers & ten convicted killers, most with deportation orders going back many years.”  Let’s meet a dozen of these “vulnerable neighbors.” Hernan Cortes-Valencia: This Mexican illegal alien was convicted (Not accused. Not indicted. Convicted) of four DUIs, sexually assaulting a child, and carnal abuse. He was in America despite receiving a deportation order on December 1, 2016. Ge Yang: This Laotian illegal alien was convicted of strongarm rape (coercive sex via brute force, but no weapon), strongarm aggravated assault against a family member, aggravated assault with a weapon, and domestic violence involving strangulation. Deportation order: October 16, 2012. Sriudorn Phaivan: This Laotian illegal alien ran a one-stop shop for crime. He was convicted of strongarm sodomy of a boy, strongarm sodomy of a girl, nine counts of larceny, unauthorized use of a vehicle, four counts of fraud, vehicle theft, two counts of drug possession, obstructing justice, receiving stolen property, possessing stolen property, burglary, and check forgery. Deportation order: March 8, 2018. Tou Vang: This Laotian illegal alien was convicted of sexual assault, sodomy of a girl under age 13, and procuring a child for prostitution. Deportation order: October 31, 2006. Kou Lor: This Laotian illegal alien was convicted of sexual assault, rape, statutory rape, rape with a weapon, and shoplifting. Deportation order: August 16, 1996—nearly 30 years ago! These rodents don’t just rape. They kill, too. Aler Gomez Lucas: This Guatemalan illegal alien was convicted of DUI and negligent homicide with a vehicle. Deportation order: May 24, 2022. Abdirashid Adosh Elmi: This Somali illegal alien was convicted of homicide. Galuak Michael Rotgai: This Sudanese illegal alien was convicted of assault and homicide. Aldrin Guerrero Munoz: This Mexican illegal alien was convicted of assault and homicide. Deportation order: December 17, 2015. Gabriel Figueroa Gama: This Mexican illegal alien was convicted of amphetamine possession, battery, assault, and homicide. He was deported in 2002, eventually re-invaded America, and subsequently perpetrated these crimes. Mariama Sia Kanu: This illegal alien from Sierra Leone was convicted of burglary, three counts of larceny, four DUIs, and two counts of homicide. Deportation order: July 5, 2022. Gilberto Salguero Landaverde: This Salvadoran illegal alien was convicted of three counts of homicide. Deportation order: June 25, 2025. “ICE says all of these criminal aliens were roaming freely in the sanctuary state of Minnesota prior to arrest,” Melugin reported, “and that these are the type of people that politicians and activists are referring to as their ‘neighbors’ as they attempt to interfere with ICE.” From gas-pedal-stomping Minneapolis moms to cherry-bomb-hurling ANTIFA rioters, ICE’s enemies are making life look like Easy Street for these scumbags. Thankfully, ICE remains undeterred. Its director, Todd M. Lyons, promised: “Regardless of staged political theatrics, ICE is going to continue to arrest the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens in Minnesota and elsewhere.”  We publish a variety of perspectives.
