Are younger generations more accepting of political violence? Our recent survey suggests they might be. Only 48% of Millennials and Gen Z believe political violence against elected officials is never acceptable, compared to 90% of Boomers and the Silent Generation and 80% of Gen X . This significant gap is a worrisome trend we’ve continued to see with younger generations, especially Gen Z, when it comes to key indicators on democratic norms.

Despite some of the current rhetoric, it’s important to remember that a vast majority of Americans across the political spectrum—including 71% of Republicans, 72% of Independents, and 73% of Democrats, believe political violence against elected officials is unacceptable. However, one of our latest surveys reveals a small but not insignificant number of individuals (7% on average) who find it acceptable to “kill or physically harm” elected officials in certain scenarios.

Have you been hearing a lot about Project 2025 this week? Well, so have we. In the past few weeks, the term “Project 2025” was being searched more than Taylor Swift or the NFL. So where do American voters stand on these policy proposals? According to our May 2024 survey, only 16% of Americans have heard of Project 2025. Yet, after reading a brief description of the project and some of its proposals, the majority of voters (59%) indicated they did not support any of Project 2025’s objectives. Additionally, half of Americans said Project 2025 decreases their trust in our democracy.
