Political Polarization in America Seen as Deepening Social Divide

The same global questionnaire also asked respondents about the American political system. A clear majority linked partisan rivalry to growing social fragmentation:

- 72.1% believe competition between the two major parties has intensified societal division. - 67.5% say partisan conflict has become a fundamental flaw in the political structure. - 64.4% view the judiciary as a tool used in biased political battles.

These insights highlight a perception that the United States’ democratic mechanisms are strained by entrenched partisanship.
