Amid widening partisan divides and an increasingly freighted presidential election, interparty relations are souring and Americans across the political spectrum are becoming more distrustful of one another, a new Pew Research Center survey has documented.
Even during the fiercely contested 2016 election, sizeable portions of Democrats and Republicans expressed"neutral" opinions toward one another. But those accommodating attitudes have greatly dissipated during President Donald Trump's first term, shrinking by 12 points among Democrats and eight points among Republicans since 2016.of each other.
That mistrust has percolated through many other trans-partisan views, Pew found. Most Republicans and Democrats say members of the other party don't share"many of their other values and goals" outside of politics. When self-reflecting on their own values, Democrats and Republicans do agree on some key differences. Seventy percent of Democrats believe they are more open minded than Republicans, while a substantially smaller share of Republicans, at 42 percent, think they themselves are more open-minded than Democrats. Republicans similarly have a much higher self-regard about their patriotism, while Democrats view themselves as less patriotic.
A total of 73 percent of U.S. adults believe that voters in both parties"cannot agree on basic facts," a view shared almost identically by Republicans and Democrats. Democrats are slightly more deferential than their Republican counterparts on policy issues. Fifty-four percent of Democrats think Republicans have at least a few good ideas, while only 46 percent of Republicans feel the same about Democrats.
