Quote:According to a new survey by the Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI), support for the use of violence has gone up in the past two years, peaking in its most recent survey at 23 percent.
“PRRI has asked this question in eight separate surveys since March 2021,” the report said. “This is the first time support for political violence has peaked above 20%.”
Support for political violence has risen regardless of political party affiliation, the survey found.
One-third of Republicans surveyed believe “patriots” may have to resort to violence, up from 28 percent in 2021. In 2023, 13 percent of Democrats believe violence may have to happen, compared to 7 percent who said so in 2021. Twenty-two percent of independents now say violence may be an option, up from 13 percent two years ago.
