More than half of registered voters say the threat of political violence will be greater if Donald Trump is elected this November, according to a new poll.
While 58 percent of registered voters think the threat of political violence will be greater under Trump if he is elected, 21 percent say it will fall, a poll from CBS News released Sunday reveals. Another 21 percent say there will be no change.
Just over 40 percent of registered voters say the threat of political violence will be greater if current Vice President Kamala Harris is elected, while 27 percent say it will decrease and 30 percent expect it to stay the same, according to the poll.
Roughly 83 percent of Harris voters believe the threat of political violence will be greater under the former president, while 63 percent of Trump voters say it will rise under the vice president if she wins.
The poll comes as GOP leaders blame Democratic rhetoric for the two assassination attempts against Trump this summer.

There will be political violence no matter what the election outcome. If he wins it will be post inauguration. If he loses it will be to try and take power.
There has already been too much political violence this election cycle with two assassination attempts.
Until Trump and his MAGA party are put in their place, either by rule of law or the impact of that violence, we will have violence.

58% of registered voters don’t live under a rock.
… but a majority somehow think he will be better for the economy, so many of them will opt for him. Why he’ll be better for the economy I have no idea, but of course the economy must trump all other things.
Eww, my phone autocorrected “trump” to “Trump.” Twice.
There’s a plan. The best plan. It will be huge, everyone says it. Well, the concept of a plan really. Actually I’m just saying what you want to hear so I can indulge my ego, attract more fawning, and claim the power to act in my every impulse
Ah ha! You told the truth! Fake news!
Better for the economy in that corporate taxation will cease to exist, complete and utter removal of any workers rights, removal of all corporate red tape and anti monopoly laws and regulations, and constant corporate bailouts using taxpayer money (with only lower and middle classes being the groups that actually pay those taxes).
So if course it’ll be a boost for the economy
Yeah cuz he keeps saying that. They’re not hiding it.
Didn’t trump promise that himself?
Yes but this story is about people who can vote.
I mean we saw trump incite political violence last time he was elected. If trump wins this time, he promised mass deportations. If trump loses this time, he tries another coup. I say we go with trump loses, but that’s me.
There is 100% chance of political violence regardless because we have a cult of far-right radicals worshipping a con man demagogue. Two assassins this year already went after Donald.
There’s also the big thread of violence if he’s not elected
They’ve been literally saying this for months.
There’s political violence right now.
It’s just overseas.
