What Americans really think about political violence

The shooting death of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk this week has sparked a national debate about political violence — and YouGov has been polling regularly to find out what Americans are thinking. News is still coming in about alleged shooter Tyler Robinson, but here are some of the takeaways from YouGov’s polling so far:

Some Americans are more worried about political violence than others
Just 6% of Americans say political violence is not much of a problem (5%) or not a problem (1%). 87% say it is a problem, with a majority (59% of U.S. adults) saying political violence is a very big problem and 28% calling it somewhat of a problem.
