Likely voters across the political aisle diverge on whether having a strong economy or functioning democracy is a bigger concern over the next few years, according to a new CBS/YouGov poll.
Fifty percent of the total likely voters polled said having a strong economy is the higher concern, while the other half of respondents said having a functioning democracy was the bigger concern.
Broken down by party identification, 64 percent of Democratic voters said having a functioning democracy as a higher concern, and 36 percent listed having a strong economy as the bigger concern. Among Republican voters, 35 percent said a functioning democracy was a greater concern while 65 percent said a strong economy was more of a concern.

My only problem with ‘democracy’ is that it has now given us MOB RULE, where the takers and Tribalists use it as a means to enrich and empower themselves.
We need to go back to ONLY those types of people who voted when the country was formed, because they are the only people who are capable of operating properly with the degree of freedom that our Constitution allowed.
The leftists in government have been caught out planning an actual military coup if Trump wins (posts here on FR), and these moron Democrat idiots think Trump is a threat to “democracy” (we are a Republic you morons). That’s about half the country.
Yeah. We are screwed as a nation. Thanks, Demidiots.
Man are you soooo right. We DO live in a constitutional republic. And I correct everyone no matter the circumstances.
To a Democrat, judicial edicts compose a functioning democracy.
“Functioning democracy” = ChiCom style government
Re a leftist coup: https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2024/01/lawmakers_and_others_are_secretly_plotting_a_military_mutiny_if_trump_is_elected.html and https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/01/nbc-news-reports-deep-state-plot-prevent-trumps/ for a few examples.
Propaganda works, folks. The fact that a “functioning democracy” would even be an issue is proof of that.
Money matters, marketing matters, messaging matters. If the base sits on their behinds again and keeps their wallets closed, we lose again. The Democrats have mountains of cash and the full weight of the media behind them already.
“Biden is terrible but at least he isn’t Hitler” is what they are running with.
Trump is good for democracy not bad. The demonrats are the ones who are bad for democracy.
It is so funny that I always see The Hill being quoted here on FR. But I get it. They are as corrupt as AP and NPR/PBS. We are supposed to believe that Democrats have taken the high moral ground here based on this phony poll. Democrats apparently have a different view on what democracy is.
Voters?
Oh, you mean idiots who are easily duped into voting against their own self interests.
Right. Mob frenzy “democracy” will deny any rights to a minority (meaning someone not in the majority percentage—not a race). They push that term as in Marxist countries so the mob can destroy the enemy. But their protected and privileged elites always dominate the “workers” and steal from them to live the good life. Fools.
People vote their way into socialism and fight their way out of it.
You know that. Most Freepers (besides our resident never-Trumpers) know that.
Unfortunately a large percentage of the population does not know that (again including our resident never-Trumpers). They've been brainwashed by years of "education" aka indoctrination and the lies told by a complicit leftist media.
The following normal rule applies here: The Demscum are doing exactly what they accuse us and especially Trump of doing: Trying to subvert our "democracy" (it's actually a Republic - but again Freepers know that) and seize power through unconstitutional means.
PS I'm starting to think at least some of our resident never-Trumpers are actually leftist trolls.
Yup. I think it is no coincidence this site is called Free Republic.
I agree they do sound fully leftist.
The media’s current working definition of “democracy” is: electoral victories by the political left, regardless of the integrity of the process.
Their DEMOCRACY!
The ‘boarder’ is THE issue that all others hinge upon...education, economy, national security, health care, WOT, election integrity, social stability....etc.
Democrats seem to believe that the word democracy means “what it is that Democrats want” as opposed to what people want.
That is why they can believe that Trump being voted in is inimical to “democracy.”
So if you don’t vote for democrats that means automatically you’re against democracy???!?!?
What the hell is this crap, and why would anyone buy it?!
