We seek to understand the forces driving us apart, find common ground, and help bring Americans together to tackle our shared challenges.
"The group More in Common has done some tremendous research about how we are divided and the different ways we’re divided. What they found was that 70 percent of Americans hate where we are right now."

Over the past five years, More in Common has studied Americans’ attitudes toward political violence and support for democratic norms/values across multiple national surveys and qualitative studies.

Important reminder in the wake of political violence and Charlie Kirk’s assassination: social media can make support for political violence look bigger than it actually is. ⬇️

Charlie Kirk’s murder is an inexcusable act of political violence and a personal tragedy. A wife no longer has a husband, and two young children no longer have a father.

Gen Z isn’t anti-democracy.
They’re just asking: What has it done for us lately?
New research from @moreincommonus.bsky.social CommonUS shows their skepticism stems from disillusionment—not dictatorship.

It’s a call to deliver, not dismiss.

Are Gen Z Americans giving up on democracy?

Upon first glance, the numbers look grim: only 42% of Gen Z Americans say democracy is the "best form" of government for the United States. And 25% say they "don't care" about the Constitution. (1/4)

[NEW REPORT] Nearly half of Gen Z is OK with leaders setting aside democratic principles to fix the economy.

Our interviews with Gen Z reveal that these shocking stats are less evidence of a pro-authoritarian streak than a disillusionment with our democracy.
