LOS ANGELES, July 1 (Xinhua) -- Seventy-six percent of U.S. adults believe the country's democracy faces a "serious threat," according to a new NPR/PBS News/Marist survey released Tuesday.
The anxiety spanned the political spectrum: 89 percent of Democrats, 80 percent of independents, and 57 percent of Republicans shared that view. Nearly three quarters of respondents, 73 percent, also described politically motivated violence as a significant national problem.
