Poll: Half of voters say American democracy under 'major threat'

[AZProgressive]

More than half of Americans say the nation's democracy is under major threat, and more than a third say they do not believe that votes cast in the 2022 midterm elections will be counted accurately after a year-long campaign by supporters of former President Trump to undermine the integrity of America's electoral system.

Elections experts and democracy advocates have been sounding increasingly anxious alarms about the assault on American democracy, but a new poll conducted for Grinnell College by the Iowa-based pollster Ann Selzer finds Trump backers are the most likely to worry about the future of democracy.

The poll, released Wednesday, found 52 percent of adults, 55 percent of likely voters, two-thirds of self-described conservatives and a whopping 76 percent of Trump supporters said American democracy is under major threat.

"There is a general sense in the public that American democracy is in trouble," said Peter Hanson, a political scientist at Grinnell College and the poll's director. "That threat is felt particularly acutely by Republicans."
