Can you provide a non CNN source where it states 1/4 Americans think 911 was an inside job ?

Had you followed the link you would have seen that the data came from a YouGov poll commissioned by Statistica, and the exact number is 23%.

Makes sense. Unsurprisingly, 53% of the people pooled believe Statistica is left wing or left-center. Whereas 4%, think Statistica is right wing or righ-center. You are what you read, after all. https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/statista/

I have no idea why you think 9.11 trutherism is a partisan concern. It was originally based on criticism of GW Bush, after all. An earlier YouGov poll (in 2016) found more Clinton voters than Trump voters thought it was an inside job. There are lots of polls on the subject from across the political spectrum. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opinion_polls_about_9/11_conspiracy_theories#United_States

And here is a summary from the WSJ: https://www.wsj.com/articles/9-11-and-the-rise-of-the-new-conspiracy-theorists-11599768458
