A new AP-NORC poll finds the overwhelming majority of voters believe the nation is deeply divided over its most important values. Supporters of President Donald Trump and Joe Biden alike think the opposing candidate will make things worse.
and Republican lawsuits will make it more difficult for their supporters to cast ballots given heightened health concerns during the pandemic.
Linda Railey, a 73-year-old Republican who lives in rural Alexander City, Alabama, said she’s not worried about the pandemic because she and her husband are taking precautions like washing their hands, limiting contact with other people and wearing masks when they are in public. They only go to the grocery store and church, she said.
And as the nation struggles through intense clashes over civil rights, the poll highlights different views on the value of diversity. Noah Talbott, a 22-year-old unaffiliated voter who lives outside Richmond, Virginia, and works at Chick-fil-A, criticized Trump’s leadership on several issues and blamed him for exacerbating political and racial divisions.Talbott didn’t vote four years ago but said he would vote for Biden this fall — a decision he described as “more of a vote against Trump” than for his Democratic challenger.
