return2ozmaFour in five Americans fear country is sliding into chaos, Reuters/Ipsos poll finds
EasyreeverThen vote…
Sure, but note that these 80% are described as about equal between Republicans and Democrats. Meaning 80% of people are afraid the ‘other side’ is going to lead to catastrophe, but they don’t agree on which side is the threat, and probably a fair share that believe that both of the likely “sides” will end in catastrophe.
If four out of five people voted, then I think we’d be in a lot better shape as a country. Civic engagement does not seem to be on the uptick, would love to see some better stats on that.
I don’t disagree, but I will say that 80% are afraid it is sliding into chaos, and after the election you may have about 40% of people somewhat relieved, but expect the other 40% to be extra afraid.
