Georgetown study/poll claims we are two-thirds of the way to "Edge of a Civil War"

Is "edge" closer than " brink" ?
Anyway, relax, we still have a third of the way to go. Probably a year off or so.
Wake me when the bullets are flying.

NEW POLL: Voters Find Political Divisions So Bad, Believe U.S. Is Two-Thirds Of The Way To “Edge Of A Civil War”

GU Politics Civility Poll Finds 8 in 10 voters want both “compromise and common ground” as well as leaders who “will stand up to the other side”

Independent Voters Point To Social Media And President Trump As Main Sources Of Incivility In Politics



WASHINGTON, D.C. – A majority of Americans believe political, racial, and class divisions are getting worse, according to the Georgetown Institute of Politics and Public Service Battleground Civility Poll, the second component of the Battleground Poll. This includes three-quarters or more of men and women; urban, suburban, and rural voters; approximately 7-in-10 or more voters in every age cohort; white, black, and Latinx voters; and nearly two-thirds of voters of all partisan stripes.

These observations contribute to the Civility Poll’s additional finding that the average voter believes the U.S. is two-thirds of the way to the edge of a civil war. On a 0-100 scale with 100 being “edge of a civil war,” the mean response is 67.23.
