Rasmussen: 31% Think that Civil War is Coming "Soon;" 59% Fear Violence from Those Opposed to Trump

Personally, I definitely fear violence. I live in California, and I refrain from expressing my opinion almost all the time, because I fear physical retaliation to my verbal expressions.

From Ace:

Most voters fear that political violence is coming from opponents of the president's policies, just as they did in the second year of Barack Obama's presidency, and nearly one-in-three think a civil war is next. 

Thirty-one percent (31%) of Likely U.S. Voters say it's likely that the United States will experience a second civil war sometime in the next five years, with 11% who say it's Very Likely. 

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 59% consider a second civil war unlikely, but that includes only 29% who say it's Not At All Likely. (To see survey question wording, click here.) 

Democrats (37%) are more fearful than Republicans (32%) and voters not affiliated with either major party (26%) that a second civil war is at hand. 

But 59% of all voters are concerned that those opposed to President Trump's policies will resort to violence, with 33% who are Very Concerned. 

This compares to 53% and 28% respectively in the spring of Obama’s second year in office. 

Thirty-seven percent (37%) don’t share that concern, including 16% who are Not At All Concerned. 

Fifty-three percent (53%) are concerned that those critical of the media’s coverage of Trump will resort to violence, with 24% who are Very Concerned. 

Forty-two percent (42%) are not concerned about violence from media opponents, including 17% who are Not At All Concerned.
