Daily Mail UK -Most Americans believe that the country is on the edge of civil war, according to a new poll where participants blamed social media, the news media, and President Donald Trump for a growing division.
The Georgetown University Politics Civility Poll was the second installment to an April survey, and the October 10 research found that eight in 10 voters want both 'compromise and common ground' as well as leaders who 'will stand up to the other side'.
'That creates mixed messages for even the most skilled political leader trying to decide whether to be a fighter or a dealmaker,' Mo Elleithee, executive director of Georgetown University's Institute of Politics and Public Service, said.
When asked to rate from 0-100 'with 100 being the edge of civil war', the median average figure came up 67.23, but Elleithee said that individuals seem to think their way is the best way.
