Disturbing Number of Young People Say Political Violence Is Justified
Update: 2025-11-03
Description
A growing number of young Americans believe political violence can be justified, Politico reported Monday on its latest survey through Public First.
The poll found that 24% of Americans say there are circumstances in which political violence can be justified, compared to 64% who say it is never acceptable, according to Politico’s report on the survey. Among younger adults, that number rises sharply, with more than one in three under the age of 45 agreeing there are circumstances where political violence is warranted. There was “little partisan divide” on the issue, according to Politico, though neither the precise breakdown on the numbers nor the phrasing of the questions were included in the report.
