In July, a gunman attempted to assassinate Donald Trump at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania, shooting him in the ear, which resulted in the death of one audience member and injuries to two others.
Last week, the US Secret Service opened fire on a man they spotted in a sniper's nest near a golf course where Trump was playing. Police later arrested a suspect and charged him with two firearms-related offenses.
The survey polled 1,114 likely US voters from September 18 to 19 and 22. It has a margin of error of plus or minus three percentage points with a 95% confidence level.
