Around 27% of Americans believe a civil war is likely to break out after the upcoming US presidential election, according to a recent YouGov poll, with supporters of both Donald Trump and Kamala Harris expressing similar concerns.
A significant number of Americans fear the upcoming election could lead to political violence, with 6% stating that a second civil war is “very likely” and 21% saying it is “somewhat likely.” Roughly equal proportions of Trump and Harris supporters thought a civil war was at least somewhat likely, according to the survey conducted between October 18-21 for The Times and the SAY24 project.
The poll highlighted deep divisions within American society, with 84% of voters agreeing that the country is more divided than it was ten years ago.
After US President Joe Biden dropped out of the race and endorsed Harris as his party’s nominee, the Democrats initially enjoyed a honeymoon period with voters, reflected in rising poll numbers. However, recent surveys indicate that Trump is leading in most swing states, even if within the margin of error.
Following the 2020 election, a crowd of Trump supporters descended on the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, in an attempt to prevent lawmakers from certifying what they believed was Biden’s fraudulent victory. The demonstration quickly devolved into a riot, which Biden and fellow Democrats characterized as an “insurrection.”
Authorities arrested and charged 1,457 participants, most of whom received misdemeanor trespassing charges, although some faced more serious offenses.
Trump, who has survived several assassination attempts in recent months, is facing federal charges for allegedly instigating the riot by urging his supporters to “fight like hell”against the certification of Biden’s victory. Trump’s lawyers maintain that he was well within his rights to make such a statement, noting that he also encouraged his supporters to act “peacefully and patriotically.”

Only if Democrat ran states allow burning, rioting, crimes, mayhem, like seen during Biden Administration, IMO!
There isn’t the division that fake polls suggest. Civil War is just another propaganda tactic. Otherwise the corrupt wouldn’t need to open borders in order to import foreigners into the police and military ranks. Most Americans are united in their belief that their government is ran by a corrupt cartel of blackmailed psychopaths and installed WEF stooges and Soros patsies. Proof that true Americans are united was the response to the Hurricanes by ordinary individuals verses the response of the corrupt government. The real division is ordinary Americans versus a corrupt government and that is not a civil war. If ordinary Americans were to get fed up it would be more like taking out the garbage.
Those rioters are paid agitators. Do not represent ordinary Americans.
