Sentiment has surged since Democrats began lawfare against 2nd Trump administration
Millions and millions of Americans believe that a civil war, within the next 10 years, is very likely.
Some may be surprised by the result of a new polling, but given the fact that the divisions in America are deep and wide and, apparently in many cases, intractable, perhaps they shouldn’t.
The results come from a YouGov polling which showed actually about 40 million Americans, 12%, say the conflict is very likely.
Millions and millions more, another 28% or about another 90 million or so, say it is somewhat likely to occur.
It is Newsweek that outlined the results showing a huge surge in those concerns just since the last polling in December.
Of course, in that time frame, President Donald Trump took office for his second term, and Democrats all across America have attacked, with hundreds of lawsuits. Democrat judges have attacked with dozens of nationwide injunctions. Leftists have attacked by joining law firms that are suing Trump. And more.
The polling, from June 16, 2025, took responses from 2,275 U.S. adults.
Newsweek called it “an uptick” in concerns from the last such polling, in December with responses from 1,582, where 9% said a civil war is very likely and 21% somewhat likely.
The change from 30% expressing such concerns to 40% actually means that another 30 or 35 million Americans have joined in that view in that short time frame.
