Reflecting on a similar survey from 2018, it was found that 31 percent of likely voters at that time thought a civil war in the next five years was a realistic possibility. This indicates a growing concern over time, as the current figures show a higher level of apprehension among the population.
Historically, this is not a new sentiment. During President Barack Obama’s second term, a Rasmussen poll indicated that 53 percent of likely voters anticipated some form of violence stemming from national polarization. This long-standing concern points to a deep-seated unease about the potential for internal conflict, rooted in the political and social divisions that continue to characterize the American political climate.

These poll results highlight not only the perceived potential for significant national unrest but also the deep divisions that could potentially lead to such extreme outcomes. As the political landscape remains highly charged and polarized, the fear of a civil war—whether likely or not—serves as a stark reminder of the need for dialogue and understanding in addressing national conflicts and mitigating the risks of violence.
