A new study explores public perceptions of political violence by surveying respondents on potential targets, with former President Trump among the six figures considered. The research aims to gauge how different groups view threats to political figures, offering insight into shifting attitudes toward stability and extremism. Findings could reveal whether concerns over violence are rising or concentrated around specific leaders. The results may prompt discussions on security measures and public trust in political institutions.


Respondents were quizzed about six potential targets of political violence for the study, including President Trump.
