Republican And Democrat Voters Concerned About Democracy In 2024

US

A new survey from AP/NORC has found that, “sixty-two percent of adults think democracy could be at risk depending on who wins the presidency in November,” noting that “about equal shares feel democracy is already so broken that the election doesn’t matter (19%) and that democracy is strong enough to withstand the outcome (18%).”

  • AP: “Partisans on both sides feel that each party’s front-runner poses a risk to the health of the democracy. Eighty-seven percent of Democrats believe that if Trump is elected again in 2024 he will weaken democracy, and 82% of Republicans say the same about Biden. However, Republicans are more likely to believe that if Trump wins reelection in 2024, democracy would be strengthened compared with Democrats’ view of a Biden reelection.”
