Americans split on threats to democracy amid Trump era
A More in Common report titled Shared Ideals Divergent Realities finds Americans across parties largely back democracy and constitutional norms yet disagree on what endangers them. Sixty three percent deem democracy the best form of government, with over 70 percent supporting limits of presidential power by the Constitution. Democrats see Trump as a democracy threat, while 60 percent of Republicans view the courts as the greater risk. The study warns overall concern about democracy’s health under Trump, notes Congress’s role, and urges focused, nonpartisan engagement to defend democratic norms.
