A 2025 Ipsos‑BBC survey finds that 76 % of people worldwide believe their country is divided, and 59 % say the split is deeper than a decade ago. A parallel Harvard Youth Poll shows 61 % of U.S. adults aged 18‑29 view the nation as more divided, with 48 % of those respondents reporting burnout from constant political conflict.
