The polarization and division among Americans has never been bigger and the fear of America slipping down the slippery slope of civil unrest or even civil war is being talked about more than ever in U.S. media. It’s safe to say America is living through dangerous times, and that’s not a pun. A majority of Americans now believe the democracy in the United States is in danger of disappearing, according to what will (or should be) a deeply concerning new poll for the political establishment and the deep state. According to fresh data from Schoen Cooperman Research, just 26% of those surveyed say they felt U.S. democracy would be secured for future generations, while 51% agreed with the statement, “U.S. democracy is at risk of extinction.” An additional 23% said they were unsure. The fear of extinction fell evenly along partisan lines with 49% of Democrats and 49% of Republicans agreeing the “republic” was in danger. 54% of independents echoed those views. The research displayed widespread pessimism and distrust has risen over the past year. Just 54% of Americans say they believed Joe Biden was the legitimate winner of the presidential election. That figure was 64% when the same pollsters asked the question in April. The December poll also showed that 47% of American believed “there were real cases of fraud in the 2020 election that changed the results.” The results were even more striking for those aged 18-29, with just 21% agreeing that U.S. democracy was safe. Pollster Carly Cooperman says “we found that Americans are losing faith in their democracy, arguably worse than ever before. They’re losing faith in elections, institutions, and the ability of democracy to survive. Everything is negative”. The survey was comprised of 800 likely 2022 midterm election voters and both parties were quick to blame the other side for the loss of faith. The number of Americans who believe that the last election was rigged with voter fraud or their democracy is at risk of extinction is astonishingly surprising because of the fact they have only just reached that conclusion now.
