Trump-Driven Polarization Reflects Divergent Views of America’s Future

Days before the 2018 midterm elections, a wide-ranging new survey from PRRI finds that partisans see two entirely different American futures. The survey shows Republicans’ vision for the country’s future is increasingly distant from the vision largely shared by Democrats and independents. And in the religious landscape, white evangelicals’ vision is increasingly distant from the vision of other religious Americans and the religiously unaffiliated.

The 2018 American Values Survey, the ninth in an annual series, explores how this split between political partisans impacts their views of President Donald Trump’s signature immigration policies, the country’s changing demographics, discrimination, racial justice, and the #MeToo movement, as well as diversity among elected officials.
