7 in 10 voters worried about violence post-election: Poll

Share

A new poll revealed a significant number of voters are worried about violence following the 2024 presidential election. The survey, conducted by Quinnipiac University, found that 73% of likely voters expressed concern about politically motivated violence after election results are announced. In the same poll, 27% expressed little to no concern. 

Democrats are most worried, with 90% responding “Yes.” Of Republicans, 59% said they are concerned.

On Jan. 6, 2021, rioters stormed the Capitol building in Washington, D.C., after former President Donald Trump lost the presidency in the 2020 election.

In August, President Joe Biden talked about whether he thinks there would be a peaceful transfer of power in January 2025.

“If Trump loses I’m not confident at all,” he said. “He means what he says. We don’t take him seriously. He means it. All the stuff about if we lose there’ll be a bloodbath.” 

The Quinnipiac poll also found Trump had 48% backing from likely voters. Vice President Kamala Harris received 47%.

The survey included 1,728 people. Its margin of sampling error is +/- 2.4 percentage points.
