Polling since the attack on Donald Trump clearly indicates that a majority of Americans now believe political violence is on the up.
In a snap poll conducted by YouGov the day after the attempted assassination, just over-two thirds of respondents, or 67%, said they believed politically motivated violence is more likely. Only 8% said they thought it was less likely.
Respondents were also asked, “How big of a problem do you think political violence is in the US today?”
Exactly half said they believed political violence is “a very big problem,” with 32% saying it’s “somewhat of a problem” and only 10% saying it’s either “not very much of a problem” or “not a problem.”
