Almost two-thirds of Americans think that the United States could face violence after the November 5 presidential election, a new Scripps News/Ipsos poll revealed on Thursday.
Sixty-two percent of respondents said that election-related violence in the country is "somewhat" or "very likely." Such concerns are higher among Democrats (70%) than Republicans (59%).
People in the key battleground state of Wisconsin are more concerned about possible violence, with 72% believing that it is likely, it added.
More than half of Americans, or 51%, would support using the military to prevent potential threats around Election Day, according to the survey.
Seventy-seven percent said they are ready to accept the election results if their preferred candidate loses.
The poll was conducted from October 18-20 among 1,028 adults.
