US President Trump

On June 28 th, in recent days, the United States has fallen into a broader political polarization due to immigration and other issues. Many Trump administration officials and the public broke out in open confrontation, which made the American people feel uneasy. According to a recent poll, almost one-third of American voters believe that a new civil war may be brewing in the United States.

According to USA-Today's website, on 27th local time, a poll given by the Rasmussen Report showed that 3 1% of American voters thought that the United States "may experience a second civil war in the next five years", among which 1 1% even said that war was very likely. Among them, Democrats (37%) are more worried than Republicans (32%). Although more than half of American voters (59%) think it is unlikely that another civil war will break out in the United States, only 29% think it is impossible to wage war at home.

In addition to worrying about civil war, 59% of voters are worried that those who oppose Trump will choose to resort to violence, and 33% of them are particularly worried about this. Compared with the second term of former President Obama, which was 53% and 28% respectively, this time the data has improved.

The survey was conducted from June 2 1 day to June 24, targeting 1000 American voters who may vote in the next general election. Before Trump took office, half (50%) of the voters thought that eight years after President Obama took office, the United States had become a more divided country. After Trump was elected, 55% of voters thought that the United States had become more divided.

The US media pointed out that this poll coincided with the Trump administration being severely criticized for its "zero tolerance" immigration policy. Trump administration officials, including White House press secretary Sanders, Secretary of Homeland Security Nelson and White House consultant Stephen Miller, all face open confrontation between their political opponents and the public on issues such as immigration policy.
