Majority of Americans believe country on verge of civil war

BATTLE FOR WORLD | October 10, 2020: Americans are worried about the legitimacy of the upcoming presidential election as fear mounts about the outcome as some believe if results are tainted it could heighten the nation’s already overburdened psyche that could cause violence in the streets.

Compounding all this is a new poll showing a large percentage of Americans with deep reservations about the election results weeks before Election Day and are concerned and unsure how people are going to react or might resort to as a consequence.

According to the YouGov poll of 1,999 registered voters nearly half – 47% – disagree with the idea that the election “is likely to be fair and honest.” And slightly higher – 51% – said that they won’t “generally agree on who is the legitimately elected president of the United States.” The poll was conducted online from October 1 to 2, with a margin of error of +/- 2.56 percentage points.

In addition, another poll from YouGov of 1,505 voters revealed that 56% believe there might be “an increase in violence as a result of the election.” The polling question margin of error was 4.2 percentage points.

Some Americans who support Trump are concerned over the election’s legitimacy, hyped up in the media, over Trump’s claim that potential fraud could result involving millions of mail-in ballots that have already started to be delivered to election offices across the country.

“We would be foolish to not at least accept that it’s a real thing that happens sometimes, and I just worry that it’s going to happen in a greater numbers this year,” said a Trump supporter – Bill Fry, a Marine veteran who owns a dental management company in Blanchester, Ohio. “And a lot of my friends think the same things.”

For Matt Edelman from Brooklyn, New York and other Biden supporters, they worry about Trump’s criticism about mail-in ballots and his refusal, if evidence should arise of fraud, agree to a peaceful transition of power. Some Americans believe that if Trump loses and persist, that it is proof he will stop at nothing to reverse the results. Edelman believes it will be an electoral defeat given that polls are showing Biden with a significant lead nationally. – This was the same hyped drama the media used with Hillary. (BattleForWorld: The question has to be asked: Is Joe Biden being hyped up by the media in the same way Hillary Clinton was?)

“Trump is already casting doubt on the legitimacy of vote by mail which tells me that he may try to dispute the result legally or by decree or who knows by what means,” said Edelman, an assistant to the learning specialist at a local school who supported Senator Bernie Sanders in the primary. “He’s a liar. He will promote baseless conspiracy theories if he feel it will benefit him politically,” Edelman alluded.

Is the United States ‘on the verge’ of civil war?  In conclusion of the YouGov survey, it finds that a majority of U.S. adults believe the country is “on the verge” of a second civil war. Of those who were polled, 4 out of 10 said they “strongly agree” with that sentiment expressed most sharply by those identifying themselves as very conservative or very liberal.

“This is the single most frightening poll result I’ve ever been associated with,” said Rich Thau, president of Engagious, one of the three firms, along with the Sports and Leisure Research Group and ROKK Solutions, that sponsored the survey. – He’s concerned that partisan tensions have been “bubbling below the surface or just above” for some time and that divisions are being ruptured further by the coronavirus pandemic where both sides disagree on the severity and response, as ideologies are played out, in an election in which both sides view the other as hardened combatants. …
