Poll: 7 In 10 Americans Say US Is On the 'Edge Of a Civil War'

According to a disturbing new survey, seven in 10 Americans say the United States is “on the edge of a civil war” – and, perhaps even worse, they don’t want to compromise on anything to avoid it.

Georgetown University’s Institute of Politics and Public Service found that 67% believing that the nation is nearing civil war, including 64% of Democrats, 67% of Republicans, and full 70% if registered Independents. 

Another 84% saying they agree with the statement that “behavior that used to be seen as unacceptable is now accepted as normal behavior.”

Unsurprisingly, 88% reported being “frustrated with the rudeness in politics today.”  However, while 87% said they agreed that “compromise and common ground should be the goal for political leaders,” when it comes to compromising their ideas, a nearly equal 84% said that they are “tired of leaders compromising my values and ideals,” saying they want “leaders who will stand up to the other side.”
