As the 2024 presidential election draws near, a new poll further illustrates the ever-growing divide among Americans about the nation's trajectory and the critical issues influencing voter decisions, including almost a quarter of Republican Donald Trump supporters saying that he should declare election results invalid and "do whatever it takes to assume office if he loses" in November.
Many Americans do agree on something, and that is that the country is headed in the wrong direction. 70% of respondents gave the answer, a perspective that is particularly pronounced among Republicans (94%) and independents (70%). Only 41% of Democrats share this view, according to the 15th annual PRRI American Values Survey (AVS), conducted in partnership with the Brookings Institution.
