The article examines the extent to which American public opinion supports democratic norms and opposes antidemocratic attitudes, particularly in the context of recent political developments. Despite the actions of prominent Republican officials that undermine democratic norms, the study finds that overwhelming majorities of the public across both parties oppose violations of democratic norms and partisan violence. This bipartisan consensus remains stable over time, even in the face of high levels of affective polarization and exposure to divisive elite rhetoric during the 2022 political campaign. The authors also find no evidence that elected officials' practice of election denialism encourages their constituents to express antidemocratic attitudes. Overall, the results suggest that the threat to American democracy comes from unilateral actions by political elites that contrast with the views of their constituents. The study highlights the disconnect between the behavior of Republican elites and the attitudes of Republican voters, indicating that public opinion stands in contrast to the antidemocratic impulses of elites. The implications of these findings are discussed, including the need for elected officials to be more responsive to the public's commitment to democracy.The article examines the extent to which American public opinion supports democratic norms and opposes antidemocratic attitudes, particularly in the context of recent political developments.
