7 in 10 worried about politically motivated violence after election: Survey
Seven in 10 likely voters are worried about politically motivated violence after the 2024 presidential election, a new poll found.
In the poll, from Quinnipiac University, 73 percent of likely voters expressed concern about the potential for “politically motivated violence following the outcome of the 2024 presidential election.” Only around 27 percent expressed little to no concern.
Last month, President Biden said that he’s not confident a peaceful transfer of power would occur in the circumstance former President Trump loses the upcoming election.
“If Trump wins, no, I’m not confident at all. I mean if Trump loses I’m not confident at all,” Biden said in an interview at the time.
In the wake of Trump losing the presidency in 2020, rioters stormed the U.S. Capitol in an attempt to halt the certification of the election results. The former president has consistently claimed, despite a lack of evidence, that Biden’s victory in 2020 was rigged or stolen.
The Quinnipiac poll also found Trump had 48 percent backing from likely voters, with Vice President Harris receiving 47 percent.
The survey took place Sep. 19-22, featuring 1,728 people. Its margin of sampling error is plus or minus 2.4 percentage points.
