Poll: Majority Say U.S. Is in Political Crisis

A Quinnipiac University national survey conducted Sept. 18–21 finds 79% of registered voters say the United States is in a political crisis in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination; the poll (1,276 respondents, ±3.3 points) also shows broad concern about politically motivated violence and pessimism about lowering political tensions. Partisan splits show concern across parties, and a plurality expects political violence to worsen over the next few years.
