A new poll found that more people think Charlie Kirk’s assassin was a Republican than a Democrat, a perception fueled in part by the spread of misinformation.

A survey conducted by YouGov on Sunday, four days after the conservative activist’s assassination, found that, based on the available information, 24% of U.S. adults believed a Republican had assassinated Kirk compared to just 21% who believed the individual was a Democrat. Another 15% said they were unsure, while 40% stated they didn’t know.
