Really, and then you put up other polls that nobody has ever heard of to counter it? 

I just have to ask, do you actually believe your own bullshit?  

LOL
What a dumb----. 
Obviously, other than to you, it means ONE poll is an outlier, and not the particular pollster that conducted it. Duh!

A CNN poll? Now that would be drastically skewed even more.....
That Quinnipiac poll was on the 6th and is the same one you initially referred to in this thread. We'll have to wait and see what the next one shows...

The same poll shows what other polls are showing: the majority think that American Democracy is under threat. And why? Because of the insurrection on January 6th and Trump's big lie.

You and the polls are a million miles apart:

The main reason is Trump's big lie and that is what January 6th was all about...

But there weren't just  "ten people in the crowd" now were there, Mel? 
What you've stated makes no sense at all, none whatsoever. Have you even looked at the videos of the insurrection so you would have some clue of what you're talking about before you post about it?

And I think only hardcore Dems think this will help them.
That's not the point, Mel. The reality of what occurred is...

In my opinion, anyone who thinks democracy is under legitimate threat because of the the morons who rioted and committed various crimes on Jan 6, (A) has no appreciation of the robustness of our democracy, and (B) is about as smart as those who believe we are visited by alien spacecraft.  Do the folks who think that Trump actually came close to motivating a legitimate and potentially successful insurrection on the 6th think whack-a-doodles in buffalo hats are going to stand up to a coordinated police presence? the army?  the national guard?

To misquote Aragorn (from the movie), 'there may come a day when the great US democracy fails, but January 6, 2021 is not that day.'  Aren't most of the rioters who actually breached the Capitol being prosecuted?  Frankly I have not been following the story.  What more do we need than effective prosecution, conviction and sentencing of the miscreants?

Some percentage of voters believes Trump's big lie, that the steal was on.  There is not much we can do about such foolishness.  Just as there is not much we can do about the 41% who believe we are visited by space aliens.  Democracy will survive stupidity.

Jim,
I wish it were that simple and I wish I could agree with you but, most unfortunately, it goes far beyond what you've stated. 
The Republican party is the party of Trump. Republicans who are advancing his big lie are the ones who are enacting a myriad of voter restriction laws throughout the red states based upon the lie of election fraud. Republican candidates are running on this lie and have a cult like following in a number of states including candidates who advocate endless election audits and/or who will be in a position to overturn the results of an election if they don't agree with the results. This is part of a co-ordinated plan within the GOP to maintain power, not on the merits of what the voters want or on the merits of any sort of a coherent political platform but, rather, a thinly veiled scheme to prevent any erosion in the grip of the states they reside in.
