Americans Believe We’re Two-Thirds of the Way to a Civil War

We are two-thirds along the way to a new American Civil war—at least, that’s what almost 70 percent of voters questioned by Georgetown University’s Institute of Politics and Public Service poll believe.

When asked to express on a scale from 0 to 100, how far we are on our way to the brink of a civil war, the mean response was 67.23.

This conclusion features in the second Civility Poll by GU Politics this year released on Wednesday. The Battleground Civility Poll is the second component of the bipartisan Battleground Poll.

The survey found a generally held belief in over 70 percent of those polled from all across the electorial spectrum, including Democrats, non-partisans, Republicans, Hispanics, blacks, rural voters, urban voters, young and old that the divisions in class, race, and political creed are becoming more significant.

A generally found tenure is that the overall civility in politics is on a free fall in recent times (88% agree, including 71% strongly agree), and the discrepancy between Democrats and Republicans seems to be beyond reconciliation.

Remove the communists from office and their enabling media, and the problem is solved.

I don’t think there will be an organized civil war, but there will be constant violence.

Hey, I would have said 13/16 there, so I’m pretty close.
Close to crazy.

I think the only reason we’re not slinging lead is the internets, we can kill each-other virtually now.

Hi. I hope you are doing well.

I don’t think in my life time (not many years) we will see a civil war, but if it occurs, let it be now.

I can’t hump an 81mm mortar, but I can still neutralize a moving target at 500m.

5.56mm

We need to turn around our Elementary schools, Middle schools and High Schools from their leftist agendas that teachers give them. We are starting to do this but it is way too slow since the Rats have infiltrated our schools.

Partner, we are already turning a lot of folks from Democrats to Republicans on this fake Impeachment Trial. Americans will notice the Do Nothing DemonRats do absolutely nothing to help out Americans on Illegal Immigration and Jobs.

I think a lot of Americans know the damage that has been done for the past 28 years by American presidents and some have been Rinos like the Bush Family.

The Clintoons and the "America Hating Piece of Work Obama" did not do us any favors by being our POTUS.
