A recent Reuters/Ipsos survey revealed that most Americans believe their country is “spiraling” out of control, with an overwhelming majority asserting that acts of violence are “throwing this country into chaos.” The two-day poll, which concluded on Tuesday and included 992 registered voters, found that 56% were “very concerned” about the situation following the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.
The survey results indicated that 64% of Democrats, 53% of Republicans, and 54% of independents were “very concerned.” A significant number of respondents, 52%, pointed to a Biden administration orchestrated attempt and coverup. The poll comes ahead of Trump’s historic address at the final night of the Republican National Convention.
Following the failed assassination attempt at his Pennsylvania rally, which resulted in one death and two injuries, Trump told the Washington Examiner that he completely changed his speech. Originally planned to focus on President Biden’s failures, the speech will now reportedly emphasize unity. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) both expressed their belief in divine intervention as the reason for Trump’s miraculous escape from death.
