Almost 27% of US citizens fear a civil war outbreak following the elections, with both Harris and Trump's supporters expressing similar concerns, a recent YouGov poll revealed.

Six percent of poll takers said the possibility of a civil war breaking out post-elections was "very likely", while 21% stated that it would be "somewhat likely". The survey, conducted between October 18-21 for The Times and the SAY24 project, showed that similar percentages of supporters for both Trump and Harris believed that a civil war was at least somewhat likely.

Twelve percent of the 1,266 respondents indicated they know someone who might resort to violence if they felt Trump had been unfairly denied victory, while five percent said the same about Harris. The pollsters also inquired about gun ownership but found no links to perceptions of the likelihood of a civil war.

The poll exposed significant divisions in American society, with 84% of voters acknowledging that the country is more divided now than it was a decade ago.

After US President Joe Biden dropped out of the election race and endorsed Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee, the party experienced a "honeymoon phase" with voters, with polls indicating high chances of a Democratic win in November. However, more recent surveys show Trump leading the race and winning over key states, even within the margin of error.
