By the numbers Greger, 24% of Likely U.S. Voters, this is all voters, not broke down by party think Biden voters are America’s biggest enemy. The same number (24%) see China as enemy number one. Nearly as many (22%) regard Trump voters as the biggest enemy, while 10% view Russia and seven percent (7%) North Korea as the largest threat to the United States. Eleven percent (11%) are more wary of something else

By party, 37% of Republicans feel Biden voters are the biggest enemy, just edging the 34% who feel that way about China. Thirty-five percent (35%) of Democrats think Trump voters are the biggest threat, far and above the danger posed by all the others.

This was an old poll, but I think those numbers may has risen some as to Democrats and Republicans thinking the other is this nation’s biggest enemy. The numbers reflect today’s modern political era of polarization, the great divide and the super, mega, ultra-high partisanship.

As for our democracy being threaten, you have this.

WASHINGTON — The good news is that deeply divided Americans agree on at least one thing. The bad news is they share the view that their nearly two-and-a-half-century-old democracy is in danger — and disagree drastically about who is threatening it.

In a remarkable consensus, a new Quinnipiac University poll found that 69 percent of Democrats and 69 percent of Republicans say that democracy is “in danger of collapse.” But one side blames former President Donald J. Trump and his “MAGA Republicans” while the other fingers President Biden and the “socialist Democrats.”

There you have it. Each side views the other as being the threat to democracy, each party views the other as the party that is bringing this country to being close to the collapse of its democracy. Knowing these numbers, for folks who are gleeful in citing the rising percentage of those who are placing the threat to democracy as a top issue, be careful. You probably have a fairly equal number of Republicans and democrats in thinking our democracy is threaten. Half thinking the threat comes from Republicans, the other half thinking the threat comes from democrats.


It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.
