Election Year: Voters Concerned About Extremism Going into November
America ı By Gabrielle Seunagal

Many experts and officials continue to track the 2024 presidential election, along with various factors that can impact it. Just earlier this month, a series of tech companies announced their commitment to combat misinformation that may influence this year's White House and congressional races.
The years leading up to now have been rife with extremism and division in the political world. Polls show an uptick in the number of Americans who see violence as an acceptable means to carry out political objectives. Likewise, there's been an increase in people who see their fellow Americans with opposing political views as mortal enemies.
As this year's presidential race plays out, many issues will be on the minds of voters. One of them, according to a new poll, is extremism.
Here's where the country stands on political extremism
21% polled by Reuters/Ipsos declared that fears of extremism and dangers to democracy top their list of concerns this year. That was followed by 18% and 19% who remain more focused on immigration and the nation's economy.
Republicans are less likely than Democrats to view political extremism as problematic. However, Democrats have collectively shown fewer worries about immigration.
In this new poll, roughly 25% of Independents are united with Democrats in concerns about extremism in our nation's politics. As for economic matters, they rank only at third place for Independents.
Who do voters trust more to combat extremism in America?
Despite both Biden and Trump engaging in polarizing rhetoric, 34% of voters see the current president as most suited for dealing with extremism. Just 31% said the same thing about the former president.
Given the current political dynamics, some experts believe Biden will lean into these concerns. Despite his declining poll numbers, the incumbent candidate could make his campaign more about opposing Trump and partisan extremism, with less focus on his achievements in the White House thus far.
Some in the Democrat Party fear that Biden's dipping approval ratings could make him more vulnerable to an election loss in November. Though other Americans believe when push comes to shove, most voters' dislike of Trump supersedes any grievances they may have with Biden.
