Many Americans in a new survey said they believe democracy could be at risk depending on who wins the presidential election in November.
The latest poll from The Associated Press-NORC Research Center, published Thursday, found 59 percent of Americans believe democracy could be on the ballot at the election, including 67 percent of Democrats and 58 percent of Republicans. It also found that smaller shares of Americans believe the U.S.’s democracy is strong enough to withstand the potential results.
According to the survey, just 21 percent of Americans believe the U.S. democracy is strong enough to withstand the results of the presidential election. This includes 24 percent of Republicans, 20 percent of Democrats and 19 percent of independents.
Others offered a more pessimistic view, with just 18 percent of Americans saying that it does not matter who wins because democracy is already broken. This includes 37 percent of independents, 17 percent of Republicans and 12 percent of Democrats, per the poll.

Democrats coined the word “democracy” signaling “democrats only”
I pray for the failure of “their democracy”, and the restoration of our Republic.
More than half do not understand our governance. A republic operates on a charter, constitution. A democracy is the will of the people, mob rule.
The distinction between a Republic and a Democracy is too confusing for a segment of the population.
Sadly, more than half of the public thinks democracy = socialism.
Be real honest with ya I do not see this Republic holding together much longer as I see the Federal Government defaulting as we are 35 trillion on the book’s debt north of 200 trillion off the book’s debt. I give it less than 5 years if Harris wins and maybe a little longer of Trump wins.
Correct. And they don’t give a rip, either.
Our Democracy® is at stake.
“A republic operates on a charter, constitution. A democracy is the will of the people, mob rule.”

A kleptocracy is a system that enables those in power to use public institutions for personal gain at the expense of those they govern. That’s a pretty apt description of where we really are.
President Trump only has 4 years. The left will do everything to stop him during that time. Then, 4 years later, we go through the election again. At best, if President Trump wins, we have only 4 years. Unless God intervenes in this world, get ready for satanic worldwide rule. Be ready for and the end times tribulation starting with the rapture. We are on the cusp of it now. All the signs are pointing that way.
2 Timothy 3:1-9
But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God — having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.
They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over gullible women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires, always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth. Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these teachers oppose the truth. They are men of depraved minds, who, as far as the faith is concerned, are rejected. But they will not get very far because, as in the case of those men, their folly will be clear to everyone.
2 Timothy 4:3-4
3 For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.
4 They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.
Our avalanche of debt is a crippling problem to be sure, but our spreading cultural decay is an even bigger problem IMO. It is at the heart of most of our problems and is nearly impossible to reverse. There’s only so much that Trump can do in what would effectively be just three short years.
I think my freedom is at stake.
“At best, if President Trump wins, we have only 4 years.”
***********
In actuality probably only about three years as he basically becomes a lame duck and focus shifts to the next election.
Yup but this result signals trouble, especially with yoyo talking about Trump being a threat. They have officially dumbed down America to the lowest denominator.
The Democrat party is no longer democratic, as Harris’ appointment demonstrates, so what, exactly, do democrats think democracy is, only Democrats winning?
Yoyo's have a down cycle and a corresponding up cycle! There is nothing upside about the skank that you are talking about
The party that screams “Democracy” every five damn minutes is the same party that’s fronting a candidate that no one voted for. I pray she endures the same political path as our old family friend, Jerry Ford.
The Hill working overtime I see.
Ignore the economy and open borders or men playing women’s sports.
Its democracy.
And democracy means “their democracy” in which you shut up and obey.
6 in 10 people are stupid. The same was said when Clinton became President. And when Obama became president.
This is why Trump will not win. Too many stupid people vote. The GOP has a horrible ground game stuck in the 1980s that will not offset this stupidity.
