As those alive for JFK slaying die, so does conspiracy belief: Polls | SecretsBedard
That was usually followed by a question some still feel unanswered: Did Lee Harvey Oswald act alone with his rifle, or did he have help?Now, as those alive at the time of the 1963 slaying die, the belief in a grand conspiracy to kill JFK is fading also.On Tuesday, said Rasmussen Reports, just 38% believe the conspiracy theory, equal to those who don’t.
It could be argued that the government’s six-decade bid to hide elements of the JFK assassination has worked. Rasmussen’s analysis said its “national telephone and online survey finds that 38% of likely U.S. voters accept the government’s conclusion that Kennedy was assassinated by a lone gunman. But 38% continue to believe he was the victim of a conspiracy, while 24% are undecided.”
The survey played off the news that President Joe Biden still plans to keep 1% of the documents related to the JFK investigation classified and secret. While virtually all of the papers have been declassified, 2024 presidential challenger Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said everything should be released.Rasmussen found that 54% want the rest of the documents released.
For those who do believe in a conspiracy, the one that suggests a CIA coverup, dominated in the Rasmussen poll. “Among voters who think Kennedy was the victim of a conspiracy, 72% think it’s likely the CIA was involved,” said the pollster.
