While a majority of U.S. citizens continue to maintain that violence won’t help fix the problems facing their nation, an increasing minority are beginning to disagree, according to a new poll.
A Marist Institute of Public Opinion poll of 1,477 adults conducted in partnership with NPR and PBS News last week found that three in 10 of those agreed (19 per cent) or strongly agreed (11 per cent) with the notion that “Americans may have to resort to violence in order to get the country back on track.”
