According to a new Rutgers Eagleton poll, voters in all political parties are worried about political retribution and violence following Election Day, as well as the health of our democracy.
86% of those polled are very worried or somewhat worried about the future of democracy.
That number jumps to 92% among registered Democrats.
60% of those polled believe political violence is a major issue in our country, and almost 80% expect some sort of violence in reaction to the election results.
