J. Andrew Sinclair and Kenneth Miller report on the new Rose Institute poll:
American voters view the upcoming election with alarm. Nearly half of registered voters (47%) view the election of former President Trump as a threat to democracy, while 38% view Harris the same way–with fears mostly dividing along partisan lines. Voters who see both candidates as a threat to democracy (5%) tend to prefer third-party candidates or remain undecided.
Only 10% of respondents view neither candidate as a threat to democracy. This view is more common among Trump supporters than Harris supporters, and partly explains the difference between responses to this question and the question on candidate preference.
Overall, one thing most voters can agree on is that the stakes in this election are high.
