Denison Forum
Dr. Jim Denison
More than 69 percent of Americans say they are stressed over next week’s presidential election. Here are five reasons:
- Our elections are longer and more expensive than ever before, causing many to tire of all the ads and worry about the influence of donors on politicians.
- Over 70 percent of Americans are concerned about election violence and the future of democracy.
- Trust in the media to report election news fairly and accurately has fallen to an all-time low; the recent furor over newspaper endorsements illustrates the controversy in which many in the media find themselves.
- Three-fourths of Americans are worried about the future of our nation and the economy.
- Nearly half of all voters are skeptical that self-governance is working in America today.

Today we are faced with a third option: a dystopia in which “people lead wretched, dehumanized, fearful lives.”
