"More than half of young Americans feel democracy in the country is under threat, and over a third think they may see a second U.S. civil war within their lifetimes, according to the 42nd Harvard Youth Poll, released by Harvard Kennedy School’sInstitute of Politics (IOP) on Wednesday.
The poll also found approval of President Biden has plummeted, and a majority of respondents are unhappy with how the president and Congress are doing their jobs. In addition, many of the respondents feel strongly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic andare worried about the threat of climate change. Half of all respondents also said they struggled with feelings of hopelessness and depression.
The Harvard Youth Poll—which is conducted twice a year, in fall and spring, and has run for over 20 years—captured responses on these topics and others from 2,109 people between the ages of 18 and 29, from across the country. Students from theHarvard Public Opinion Project (HPOP) organized the survey, under the supervision of John Della Volpe, director of polling at the IOP. "

American's democracy has changed a lot in the past 18 years and is now accelerating into civil war among themselves, which will likely happen in a year forward. The people in US is getting angrier and angrier when they see themselves being killed by guns and other things. Hopefully, the civil war will be delayed until some real solution takes place.
