The 'Democracy' Gap

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

26% : In recent polls, Democrats tend to cite Trump -- in particular, the likelihood of him seeking to subvert elections -- as the biggest threat to democracy.
26% : And if Trump and his allies lose elections or fail to enact the most extreme pieces of their agenda, those data points will be held up as proof that anyone crying democratic erosion is a Chicken Little.
21% : For Republicans, by contrast, threats to democracy take the form of mainstream media, voting by mail, immigration, and what they see as politically motivated prosecutions of Trump.
6% : In a poll conducted before Joe Biden dropped out of the race, seven out of 10 uncommitted swing-state voters said they doubted that Donald Trump would accept the election results if he lost -- but more people said they'd trust Trump to handle threats to democracy than said they'd trust Biden.
