November 4, 2022: Twenty percent (20%) of voters say that violence is at least somewhat likely regardless of who wins the upcoming midterm elections, including 6% who say that violence is very likely regardless of the outcome. A Scott Rasmussen national survey found that 16% think violence is unlikely regardless of who wins, including 5% who say that violence is not at all likely, and 13% are not sure in either case. The remaining 51% think violence is likely only if one party wins and not the other.
Methodology
The survey of 1,200 registered voters was conducted online by Scott Rasmussen on October 27-29, 2022. Fieldwork for the survey was conducted by RMG Research, Inc. Certain quotas were applied, and the sample was lightly weighted by geography, gender, age, race, education, internet usage, and political party to reasonably reflect the nation’s population of registered voters. Other variables were reviewed to ensure that the final sample is representative of that population.
The margin of sampling error for the full sample is +/- 2.8 percentage points.
Note: Neither Scott Rasmussen, ScottRasmussen.com, nor RMG Research, Inc. have any affiliation with Rasmussen Reports. While Scott Rasmussen founded that firm, he left nearly a decade ago and has had no involvement since that time.
