in the story. Here's the PDF.

Here's the question:

51. Capitol Takeover Approval
Do you approve or disapprove of the Trump supporters taking over the Capitol building in Washington, D.C. on January 6th, 2021 to stop Congressional proceedings?

It was answered via the Likert Scale: Strongly Approve/ Approve / Neither / Disapprove / Strong Disapprove
Republicans
Strongly Approve 8 percent
Approve 19 percent
Neither 25 percent
Disapprove 27 percent
Strong Dis 20 percent (total is 99 percent)

In the previous question, which was about January 6 as political discourse, 54 percent of Republicans did indeed respond that it was legitimate political discourse. So I guess they can disapprove of something they consider legitimate.
