Poll: Nearly 1 In 3 Say Political Violence May Be Necessary To Right The Country

A new NPR/PBS News/Marist poll released this week finds that an overwhelming majority of Americans think political violence is a major problem, but nearly a third say political violence may be necessary to put the country back on track. We discuss how young voters compare to the rest of those surveyed, as well as other major findings from the poll.

This episode: voting and election security correspondent Miles Parks, politics reporter Elena Moore, and senior political editor and correspondent Domenico Montanaro.

This podcast was produced by Casey Morell and edited by Rachel Baye.

Our executive producer is Muthoni Muturi.
