Two-thirds of Americans are increasingly concerned about the potential for political violence following the November 5th election, according to recent polls.
A Reuters/Ipsos survey highlighted that this fear spans across the political spectrum, with 68% of nearly 4,000 respondents expressing apprehension about violent retributions from extremists depending on the election outcome. The election, featuring a rematch between Democratic President Joe Biden and Republican Donald Trump, has become a focal point for these concerns.
Only a small fraction of the population, 15%, disagreed with the notion that the election could lead to violence, underscoring the widespread anxiety about the state of political discourse and safety in the United States.
