Americans say democracy is at stake, but they differ on the threat
Most Americans agree that democracy is on the ballot this November, but they disagree on the threat. An AP-NORC poll shows that most Americans believe this year’s presidential race will be crucial for the future of the country’s democracy. Not surprisingly, given the political climate, voters see the threat differently based on their political views.
