According to the latest Rasmussen Reports poll, political civility has declined in America. Likely voters who responded to the question said they expect political violence to increase in the next few years.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey found that 72% of 1,083 likely voters say, in thinking about the overall tone and civility in American politics over recent years, the level of civility has gotten worse. Just 12% think the level of civility has gotten better, and another 12% believe it has stayed about the same. (The survey question wording is here.)
Rasmussen Reports is known for a high degree of accuracy. In 2024, it was one of five major national pollster that accurately predicted Donald Trump’s win.
