As the United States prepares for a competitive election season, a recent Marist poll reveals stark differences and similarities between political parties.
FILE - In this combination of photos, President Joe Biden , left, speaks on Aug. 10, 2023, in Salt Lake City, and former President Donald Trump speaks on June 13, 2023, in Bedminster, N.J. The sequel to the 2020 election is officially set as the president and his immediate predecessor secured their parties’ nominations. Biden and Trump have set up a political movie the country has seen before — even if the last version was in black and white.
The poll also revealed an alarming trend with 20% of Americans admitting they may consider resorting to violence as a means to get the country back on track. When broken down by political affiliation, Republicans emerge as more inclined towards this notion, with 28% expressing readiness to consider violent actions, compared to 12% of Democrats.
While Democrats and Republicans disagree on several key issues, there is some common ground. The poll found 72% of Americans agree that corporate greed is a major driver of inflation, and 68% agree that the American Dream is still attainable. There is less agreement when it comes to topics like deporting immigrants, owning military-style assault weapons and whether the country is too politically correct.
