Trump Vs Harris: Majority Of Americans Anticipate Peaceful 2024 Power Transfer If This Candidate Wins

Bibhu Pattnaik

September 07, 2024

In a recent poll conducted by YouGov, most Americans expressed optimism about a peaceful transition of power following the 2024 elections.

What Happened: The poll indicates that 55% of respondents believe a peaceful transition of power is “very” or “somewhat” likely after the 2024 elections. The report reveals a partisan divide in the expectations, with 65% of Democrats and 58% of Republicans anticipating a peaceful transition.

If Kamala Harris wins, 53% of Americans believe the transition will be peaceful. However, if Donald Trump wins, the figure rises slightly to 55%.

The survey’s findings come in the wake of former President Trump’s tumultuous exit from the White House after the 2020 elections.

Trump was impeached for a second time following the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol and was indicted in 2023 over his efforts to remain in power post his loss to Biden.

The YouGov survey was conducted from Aug. 21-25 with 1,083 respondents and has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.

Why It Matters: The peaceful transition of power is a cornerstone of American democracy. The 2020 elections saw a turbulent transition, with Trump being impeached a second time and later indicted in 2023. These events have led to a heightened focus on the upcoming 2024 elections and the potential transition of power.

The YouGov survey’s findings reflect this focus, with a majority of Americans expressing optimism about a peaceful transition. This optimism, however, is not uniform, with a noticeable partisan divide in expectations.

The survey’s results underscore the importance of the 2024 elections and the potential implications for American democracy.
