According to the poll by The Washington Post and the Schar School, if Donald Trump loses the US presidential election, residents of swing states fear possible acts of violence by his supporters.
The respondents included over 5,000 voters from seven swing states: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
According to the survey results, 57% of voters are very or somewhat concerned that Trump’s supporters may resort to violence if he loses the election. Meanwhile, 31% believe that Kamala Harris's supporters may resort to violence.
Additionally, 66% are unsure whether Trump would accept a loss, while 69% are confident that Harris would accept a loss if she loses.
The poll shows that 45% think Trump would rule the country as a dictator, while 85% of Harris supporters are convinced of this.
It’s worth noting that swing states are those where the level of support for presidential candidates from the Republican and Democratic parties is roughly equal before the election.
