Seventy-four percent believe social media sites like Facebook and Twitter tend to divide Americans. Eight percent said those sites help unite Americans.
Seventy-one percent of voters said Americans are less tolerant of each other’s political opinions than they were in the past. Eleven percent said Americans are more tolerant of political disagreement.
Twenty-four percent of Democrats said the country has become more united since the election — just eight percent of Republicans and five percent of unaffiliated voters agree. Seventy-five percent of Republicans and 68 percent of unaffiliated voters believe the country has become more divided since the election. Forty-one percent of Democrats agree.
