The poll, conducted by The Associated Press-NORC Research Center, reveals that about 40% of Americans are apprehensive about political violence. This includes 44% who are worried about violence targeting conservative political figures or groups, and 41% who have similar concerns about liberal figures or groups.

This survey highlights a significant difference in perspectives between adults under 45 and those over 45.

Among those concerned about violence aimed at conservatives, 50% are older adults, whereas only 37% are younger adults. Similarly, 44% of adults over 45 are worried about violence against liberals, compared to 36% of those younger than 45.

The survey also explored concerns about threats to free speech. Overall, 40% of respondents express concern about threats to conservative speech, with 45% of those being older adults and 33% younger adults. Regarding threats to liberal speech, 39% are concerned, which includes 43% of older adults and 34% of younger adults.

The survey comes as political violence in the country has been on the rise in recent years, culminating in the public assassination of the late conservative activist Charlie Kirk, who was fatally shot last month at an outdoor event on a college campus in Utah while engaging with students.

The AP-NORC survey was conducted Oct. 9-13 and included 1,289 adults. The margin of error is 3.8 percentage points.
