Survey Shows Over 50% of Americans Agree: There Will Be Civil War in the United States in the Next Few Years

Half of Americans agree that ″in the next few years, there will be civil war in the United States" and nearly one in five are confident that they will soon arm themselves with a gun in a situation where political violence is justified, according (https://www.medrxiv.org/conten....t/10.1101/2022.07.15 to a nationally representative survey released on Tuesday (July 19).

Half of those surveyed were women and the average age of respondents was 48.

“This is a very strong methodological study that backs up what we are seeing in a lot of other data,” said Dr. Rachel Kleinfeld, a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment who specializes in democracy and security. “America is at risk of experiencing major political violence.”

The University of California, Davis researchers surveyed 8,600 people in May and early June. The preprint study is expected to undergo peer review later this summer.
