A new survey has found that majority of Americans believe that the assassination attempts on Trump were fake and staged.
The survey found that one in four Americans thinks that the shooting that took place during the white house correspondents’ dinner was staged.
The survey’s respondents were roughly a third of democrats. Many conspiracy theories about the assassination attempts on Trump have been circulating online.
The survey was published on Monday. The survey showed that there is a marked partisan divide. One in four Americans believes that the shooting was fake and was done for political goals.
When it comes to the respondents who were the supporters of democrats, roughly one out of three democrats believed that the shooting at the White House Correspondents’ dinner was staged.
This is widely different when compared with republicans. Only 1 republican out of eight believed that the shooting at White House Correspondents’ dinner was fake.
This information is based on the survey published by NewsGuard on Monday.

The report also revealed that the respondents who are between the ages of 18 and 29 are more sceptical and likely to believe that the assassination attempts including the recent one at the White House Correspondents’ dinner, are fake.
Older age groups were more trusting and believed the assassination attempts were real.
The most recent attempt was during the White House Correspondents’ dinner in Washington, United States on April, 26, 2026.
