How we examined public attitudes about the tone of U.S. political debate
We explored how Americans feel about the tenor of debate in the country in a recent major survey about U.S. political disource. Here’s how we did it.
Majorities of Americans say the tone of political debate in the country has become more negative, less respectful, less fact-based and less substantive in recent years.
Partisanship remains the strongest factor dividing the American public. Yet there are substantial divisions within both parties on fundamental political values, views of current issues and the severity of the problems facing the nation.
