A poll by the UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies reveals that a significant majority of California voters feel that American democracy is under threat. The concerns are shared by diverse groups, irrespective of political affiliation, income, education, or geographical location. The survey indicates that 64% believe democracy is under attack, while 26% see it as being tested. Democrats are most worried, with 81% feeling under attack. Republicans exhibited more optimism, with some believing democracy is safe. The findings reflect a widespread apprehension about the current state of democracy in the U.S.
The survey found that 64% of California voters said they thought American democracy was under attack, and 26% felt our system of government was being tested but not under attack.
Concerns among Democrats may have been expected in California, given the state's liberal tilt and the widespread and relentless government upheaval since President Trump took office in January.
