A new poll shows that more Americans believe that Republicans are the party most likely to “preserve Democracy” despite vociferous claims from Democrats that Republicans are actively attempting to dismantle Democracy.
When asked in a new Fox News poll which party would “do a better job” on “preservation of American Democracy”, 46% of registered voters said Republicans compared to 45% who said Democrats.
Additionally, 3% of voters said the parties are equal and 6% said they “don’t know.”
The poll surveyed 1,002 registered voters and results have a margin of sampling error of 3 percentage points.
