Throughout the 2024 presidential election, Democrats have made American democracy a focal point of the conversation. Vice President Harris, her running mate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, and others are warning that a second Trump term would bring chaos and threaten democracy in this country.
The sentiment is quite strong with left-wing voters on social media as well. Many are calling for Americans to back the Harris-Walz ticket. In doing so, they also maintain that Trump winning the 2024 race could mean the end of elections for good. Naturally, Republicans are pushing back against this, stating the claims about Trump’s impact on democracy are politically motivated exaggerations.
Yet, new polling on the matter is in. According to the findings, most people across the country believe democracy could be in peril.

Today, the Associated Press-NORC Research Center confirmed 59% of the country agrees democracy is facing certain risks. Just 21% of Americans conversely told the pollster that democracy will endure regardless of whether Harris or Trump wins the November election.
