49% of Americans feel like strangers in their own country, a new poll from the Institute of Politics of the University of Chicago has revealed. It also claims that 56% of people consider their government as a corrupt institution working against them, with more than a quarter saying it may be necessary to take up arms.
The statement that “it may be necessary at some point soon for citizens to take up arms against the government” was supported by 28% of Americans, including 38% of conservatives, 36% of Republicans, 35% of Independents, and 37% of those who have guns in their homes.
Even among self-described soft Democrats, 19% said armed resistance may be necessary.
US citizens also have gripes with the press, 48% of those polled said news reporters, editors and newscasters were “trying to get their own viewpoint across,” rather than “presenting the facts with as little bias as possible.”
