Voters divided on JFK assassination docs


Did Lee Harvey Oswald act alone in the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy?

Many voters still aren’t sure, and they don’t like the fact that the government won’t release all its records about the case.

That’s according to Rasmussen Reports.

The survey finds that 38% of likely voters say they accept the government’s conclusion that Kennedy was assassinated by a lone gunman.

Another 38% say they continue to believe he was the victim of a conspiracy, while 24% say they are undecided.

These numbers haven’t changed much since 2017, when 43% of adults say they believed a lone gunman killed JFK.  

After the Biden administration cited “national security” for continuing to keep some assassination records secret, JFK’s nephew Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said on Twitter:

“It’s not about conspiracy – it is about transparency. In a midnight Friday night announcement the White House has delivered the bad news that President Biden will be maintaining secrecy indefinitely on some JFK assassination related records.” 

Thirty-seven percent (37%) of voters say they approve of the Biden administration’s decision to keep some Kennedy assassination records secret, including 19% who say they “strongly approve.”

However, 54% say they disapprove of the decision, including 38% who say they “strongly disapprove.”

  1. We all know he was assassinated by the intel community. Autopsy was faked. Back of his head was blown out. Shot from the front.

  2. It’s mind-blowing that anyone would attempt to justify keeping records concerning the assassination of a US president secret for an hour, much less for more than a half century and continuing into the future.

    In what sense can this be considered a free society when the facts concerning assassination of a president are kept from the citizenry?

  3. I used to think it was just Oswald but now I have no doubt that it was done by the cia. They also took out RFK.

  4. “Sunlight” is the simplest disinfectant.
    Be aware, the low information citizen will accept the mainstream media narrative – which will ignore the facts and spin the truth.
    Donald Trump accepted the CIA desire to not publish facts when he was president.

  5. About the only scenario I can imagine where releasing the full JFK investigation would be a true national security threat is if they found out a foreign nation had JFK assassinated. They may have decided it was better for the U.S. to take the hit than to risk killing millions of Americans in an unwinnable (potentially nuclear) revenge war against another major power.

    The only other scenario is basically the opposite of preserving national security where our own government is covering up their own crimes. A nation can’t really be secure if you have people that can do illegal things and then claim “national security” to hide it.

    JFK =MLK= YES THEY WERE THE SYSTEM BEING RUN BY THE SAME FORCES IT IS TO DAY. AND WHAT BEST FOR THIS NATION IS NOT ON THERE MINDS =WASHINGTON D.C. IS FULL OF SELF SERVING PEOPLE =AND THEM SELF AND THERE NEEDS IS ALL THAT MATTERS . AND JFK AND MLK JEST GOT IN THE WAY OF SOME ‘S MONEY TREE

  7. I do not believe in polls as they can be manipulated. There are at least 1Bn US Federal docs classified that should be released and the JFK docs are some of them. The US govt keeps docs classified for their own safety so many agencies do not get hurt for breaking the law.

  8. Lee Harvey Oswald’s Final Phone Call
    Interesting but long symposium on the JFK assassination. It is all interesting but does pick up at the 1 hour mark. If you watch, it shows that gov’t corruption did not start with Biden but has been going on for some time. Make up your own mind with this as a starting point.
