More than eight in 10 Americans believe the U.S. is more deeply divided on major issues this year in comparison to past years, according to a new poll released Sunday morning.
Eighty-five percent of respondents agreed that the country is more fractured on these issues, a 7 percent bump from when the same question was asked in February, according to the CNN/ORC poll.
Over half of the respondents (58 percent) also said that they are “dissatisfied” with democracy in the U.S., which comes on the heels of an election where President-elect Trump won the Electoral College vote, but lost the popular vote to Hillary Clinton by over 2 million votes.
The national poll of 1,003 American adults was conducted via landline and cellphone between Nov. 17-20. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.
