American voters are filled with unease as the presidential election approaches, fearing potential political violence and attempts to overturn results, according to a new poll.
Conducted by The Associated Press-NORC Centre for Public Affairs Research, the survey highlights significant concerns about the fragility of the US democracy, almost four years after the controversial events of January 6, 2021.
While nearly half of voters fear Trump winning could weaken democracy, the same worry applies to Harris for many Republicans. The deepening political divide is also marked by ongoing questions around the Electoral College system and whether it reflects the popular will.
