Thanks for the numbers. Good to see some evidence my hunch was right - I'd say 43% of the sample is "many".

YouGov speculates in their presentation of the data they gathered that perhaps more Republicans approved because they saw the actions as basically peaceful:

That belief strikes me as crazy, but if they genuinely didn't think there was violence going on, hard to read it as being okay with violence.
