A shocking 31% of voters say it's likely that the United States will experience a second civil war over the next five years, according to a new Rasmussen poll.
Breaking it down by race, 44% of blacks think a second civil war is likely in the next five years, while 28% of whites and 36% of other minority voters are similarly concerned.
Other highlights:
While 31% of voters say civil war is "likely" in the next five years, 11% say it's "Very Likely"
59% of respondents are concerned that those opposed to Trump will resort to violence
37% of Democrats and 32% of Republicans fear that a second civil war is imminent
Voters who believe the nation is divided has jumped from 50% before Trump's inauguration to 55%
42% of voters say the country is headed in the right direction - a figure which ran in the mid-to upper 20% range for most weeks during the last year of Obama's presidency
51% of voters blame Trump for his poor relationship with the media, however only 40% think it's possible for the president to do anything the media will approve of.
51% of voters agree with Wisconsin Democratic gubernatorial candidate Matt Flynn, who said that his party is "pickled in identity politics and victimology."
Given the spate of violence directed towards Trump supporters which began during the 2016 election which has most recently manifested itself in the form of stalking, public shaming and threatening Trump officials, it's easy to see how nearly 1/3 of voters think civil war is on the horizon. There are also scores of leftist hate groups roaming around looking for a fight, as well documented by Far Left Watch.

If there were a Civil War and it was legal to shoot anyone who offended your political sensibilities, the only complaint from conservatives would be that it should have lasted another week so we could have gotten them all.
