"American Democracy Teeters on the Brink: A Bipartisan Analysis"

A recent poll by Grinnell College reveals that a majority of Americans, including Republicans, believe that American democracy is under threat. Concerns about election integrity are particularly prevalent among Republicans, with only about 1 in 8 expressing confidence that the final count in the 2024 elections will match voter intent. This skepticism could potentially benefit former President Donald Trump if he runs for office again in 2024 and seeks to cast doubt on the election results. Another survey by the Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI) shows that both Trump and President Biden are seen as threats to American democracy by a significant portion of the population, with a Trump victory more likely to be perceived as a sign of a broken democracy. However, those engaging in local-level politics may have a more positive view of the system's functionality.
