Heated political rhetoric — and growing concerns about political violence — have fueled warning after warning that the United States might be headed for another Civil War.
An August 2022 poll from The Economist/YouGov revealed that everyday Americans worry that the country is too divided to course-correct. According to that poll, 42% (half of Republicans and 39% of Democrats) believe a second civil war is at least “somewhat likely” within the next decade. A decisive majority — 68% — believes that political violence will increase, and 86% believe that political divides have only deepened since early 2021.
