WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – More than two-thirds of Americans are concerned about the state of democracy amid the upcoming presidential elections, according to an AP-NORC poll released on Thursday.
Fifty-nine percent of respondents said that “democracy in the US could be at risk depending on who wins the 2024 presidential election” and 18% said that it was “already so seriously broken that it doesn’t matter who wins the 2024 presidential election.”
At 67%, Democrats were markedly more likely than Republicans (58%) or independents (42%) to believe democracy was at risk depending on the winner.
