New poll reveals that Democrats and Republicans agree democracy is in danger
Details were released ahead of a major Joe Biden speech on the issue
Quinnipiac University surveyed 1584 adults last month
More than two thirds said they believed democracy was under threat
That included 72 percent of Democrats and 70 percent of Republicans
Quinnipiac University Polling Analyst Tim Malloy: ‘A rare moment of agreement’
Democrats and Republicans agree on one thing, according to a new poll: Democracy is under threat.
The Quinnipiac University poll, published on Wednesday, found that some 67 percent of all of those surveyed believed that democracy was in danger.
That total included 72 percent of registered Democratic voters and 70 percent of Republicans.
Details were published just ahead of a major set-piece speech on Thursday by President Joe Biden on what the White House bills as the ‘battle for the soul of the nation,’ in which he is expected to blast Donald Trump and his allies for undermining the nation’s democracy.
At the same time, Trump has been accusing Biden of politicizing the F.B.I. in an effort to knock him out of the 2024 election before it has even started.
The result is left and right portraying their enemies as a threat to democracy.
‘In a rare moment of agreement, Americans coalesce around an ominous concern. Democracy, the bedrock of the nation, is in peril,’ said Quinnipiac University Polling Analyst Tim Malloy.
