I don't know if this is true.

I mean, look at the time line for when this "increase" in partisan politics occurred. Can you think of anything else that was taking place during that same time line?

I just think things appearance worse now because we're besieged with it 24/7 and from multiple sources.

Same thing for crime. Crime is down across the board, and by a significant margin compared to previous decades. That's a fact. Yet, everyone acts like we live in a war zone?

It's because every little thing is scrutinized and blasted via news outlets and social media.

I think our overabundance of communication has created an incorrect perception about how things are, and I believe this poll falls victim to it as well.

I assume to get more sets of eyeballs reading their particular brand of dreck so they can claim to hold more sway when it comes to charging for adverts. Ā Fuck knows they can't be profitable based on quality of journalism anymore.
