Of the electorate that believes democracy is not guaranteed after 2024, 58% are Republicans and 64% are Democrats.
The findings get even more bleak, though. 18% of the country believes democracy has already fallen and November 5 won’t change anything. 37% of Independents hold this view, along with 12% of Democrats and 17% of GOP voters.
Across the board, most Americans agree immigration and the economy will be pivotal factors in the presidential race’s outcome. The electorate also largely feels that democracy’s future will be impacted by whichever candidate takes the White House after November.
A close race for the Oval Office
Across various polls surveying the general election, Harris and Trump are virtually tied. Certain polls have the vice president ahead of the Republican, while other surveys have the former president edging Harris. In swing states, both 2024 contenders are very close.
Earlier this week, Harris announced Walz as her running mate, citing his work on behalf of the middle class as a major factor. Since then, the two Democrats have hit the ground running, campaigning in battleground states like Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan.
