National politics in crisis, poll finds

A new poll of Colorado voters found that nearly threefourths of Coloradans think the political situation in the U.S. is in crisis, and almost two-in-three voters in the state think political violence will worsen over the next few years.

The Colorado Polling Institute asked 622 voters likely to participate in the 2026 election where they stand on politics in the state and nationally, with an oversample of Hispanic voters. They were asked about specific elected officials from Colorado, affordability and spending, immigration, health care, President Donald Trump and the Republican and Democratic parties.
