A new Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday shows 91% of registered voters view politically motivated violence as a serious problem in the U.S., with 54% calling it “very serious.” Only 2% said it was “not a problem at all.”
The bipartisan concern spans party lines: 93% of Republicans, 91% of Democrats, and 92% of independents all said they see political violence as a serious threat.
“There is broad agreement across party lines that a cloud of potential political violence looms over the country,” said Quinnipiac polling analyst Tim Malloy.
The poll follows recent high-profile attacks. Earlier this month, former Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband were fatally shot, while state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife were also targeted. Authorities recovered a hit list of Democratic officials from the suspect.
Additionally, President Trump survived two assassination attempts, including one in which a bullet grazed his ear at a campaign rally.
The survey was conducted June 22–24 among 979 registered voters, with a margin of error of ±3.1 percentage points.
