Days Before the Election New Poll Finds Fears of Authoritarianism Are on the Rise and Confidence in Democracy is Waning

​

Just ahead of the midterms, a new poll by BSG shows that only 59% of voters agree that the United States is a strong democracy. The poll also reveals several other distressing pieces of data…

​

• 71% of voters agree authoritarianism is on the rise in the United States

• 59% believe the U.S. is heading toward a second civil war

• 44% agree that “The federal government is controlled by a secret cabal”

The findings also cover voters’ opinions on how to modernize our democracy, abortion rights, and inflation.
