CBS NEWS POLL: People worried about political violence, with many seeing democracy eroding for the next generation.
Against a backdrop of so much concern that democracy is under threat, Americans also see a rising potential for political violence: almost two-thirds think the coming years will bring an increase. And the percentage holding that view has itself been rising even higher, compared to 2021.
Examining so-called division and polarization can be done many ways, of course. One is to posit that democracy is in part about rights: who has them and to what extent. And in asking about the status of rights in America today, we reveal one stark illustration of fundamental differences between partisans.
So what's next? There isn't a lot of optimism right now, with just a third saying they're optimistic Americans can come together and work out their differences — however, here younger people are much more optimistic than their elders.
