The report has some great immigration questions I haven't seen before, showing more room for agreement than usually assumed. 90% of Trump voters agree that "controlled immigration can be good for America" and 70% that it should be easier for people to immigrate legally (but harder to come illegally)

The Trump coalition is united in crediting the Administration for restoring control at the border, but agreement within the coalition breaks down around considerations of due process and methods of deportation.

Attitudes towards political violence in the United States
Charlie Kirk’s murder is an inexcusable act of political violence and a personal tragedy.

More in Common US @moreincommonus.bsky.social · 17/09/2025
Following events like Charlie Kirk's assassination, the conversation is often shaped by the loudest and most divisive voices on social media and in politics. As a result, it can be challenging to discern how prevalent Americans’ support for political violence actually is.

More in Common US @moreincommonus.bsky.social · 17/09/2025
Over the past five years, More in Common has studied Americans’ attitudes toward political violence and support for democratic norms/values across multiple national surveys and qualitative studies.

Immediately after the 2024 election, More in Common surveyed 5,000 Americans and found: 👉 Heavy social media users are nearly 4x more likely to justify political violence than light users.

More in Common mourns for Mr. Kirk and his family. And we hope that his death might be a reminder to all Americans, and especially its leaders, that the success of our experiment in self-governance rests in choosing dialogue, the only alternative to violence.

Whatever one's disagreements may be with him, violence is never acceptable in our common life.

Mr. Kirk was famous for sitting across from people he disagreed with, often on college campuses, and hashing it out. In his death, the country no longer has a young man committed to the practice of political persuasion.

Charlie Kirk’s murder is an inexcusable act of political violence and a personal tragedy. A wife no longer has a husband, and two young children no longer have a father.

In the words of a 26-year-old Hispanic woman, “What is the point of voting and choosing different people for us to have a better country? It’s a mess. We don’t get the attention […] We don’t have a voice for us. What is the point of doing this?”​ (3/4)

But our in-depth report tells a different story: Gen Z's dissatisfaction with democracy isn't a rejection of American values. Rather, it's a hunger to see democracy work, a promise they've been told their whole lives – but have yet to see fulfilled. (2/4)
