Nearly six in ten Americans believe democracy in the United States is under threat, with partisan redistricting emerging as a major source of concern, according to a new Reuters/Ipsos poll.
The survey found that 57% of respondents fear for the future of U.S. democracy, including 80% of Democrats and 40% of Republicans. A majority, 55%, agreed that gerrymandering — the practice of redrawing congressional districts to secure an advantage for a certain party — is "bad for democracy."
