00:00Poll shows Americans think a political candidate will get assassinated soon.
00:05A new poll finds Americans fear political violence, with over half expecting a candidate's
00:09assassination within five years.
00:12A Politico and Public First survey found 53% of 2024 Kamala Harris voters and 51% of Trump
00:19voters expect a political assassination soon.
00:22Conducted after the September assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, the
00:27poll found 61% of Harris voters and 50% of MAGA voters foresee more attacks, and 24% say
00:33political violence is sometimes justified, rising to over one-third under 45.
00:39The findings mirror an October NPR PBS News Marist poll, showing 28% of Democrats and 31%
00:46of Republicans think political violence may be necessary to get the country back on track.
00:53At least 300 cases of political violence occurred between the January 6th insurrection and the
00:582024 election, the largest surge since the 1970s, according to a 2024 Reuters analysis.
01:06Targets included both parties, from multiple shooting attempts against Trump during his
01:10campaign to an April firebombing against Democratic Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro.
01:16A 2023 Center for Strategic and International Studies report found that partisan attacks and
01:21plots have tripled since 2016.
01:24While many in the Trump administration have sought to blame the left for escalating tensions,
01:29experts say the roots of the violence are complex.
01:33There's also been an injection of violence directly into our political process itself,
01:37said Shane Burley, an author and journalist who studies fascism and right-wing movements.
01:43Whether it's the Trump administration sending masked ICE agents and National Guardsmen into largely
01:48Democratic cities to carry out immigration enforcement or the increasingly common presence
01:53of armed militiamen and ideological street gangs at protests.
01:58People engage in violence when they are not part of a stable social system.
02:02Gun violence is really a symptom of a real larger social problem that you're going to have to deal
02:06with holistically. And that's really unfortunate because we are nowhere near dealing with those
02:11problems in a holistic way, Burley added.
