NEW @CBSNewsPoll: Americans today say the biggest threat comes from inside the country, from “other people in America, and domestic enemies.” 
Americans are bracing for more political violence, not just in the next week at the inaugural (which most think is likely) but also over the coming years.
Just 6% of Americans describe democracy and rule of law in the U.S. as “very secure” and just 29% think it’s at least somewhat secure at all. The rest see it threatened.
A majority of Americans says they’re optimistic about @JoeBiden as president, particularly those who voted for him, though that overall optimism measure is marked by partisan splits. Far more want him to succeed than fail.
WHAT SHOULD BE @JoeBiden’s TOP PRIORITY? Coronavirus... economy... political divisions... health care, according to new @CBSNewsPoll.
BIDEN’S BIGGEST CHALLENGE? Healing political divisions looks to people like a much bigger challenge for @JoeBiden - far harder than dealing with the outbreak or any other issue. Republicans, Democrats, and independents all think so.
DIVISIONS PERSIST: Most Donald Trump voters feel unfavorably towards Joe Biden’s voters, not just towards Biden. Biden’s voters feel widely unfavorable toward the people who voted for Donald Trump, not just Trump himself.
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THE NEXT YEAR? It’s a mixture of being hopeful but also scared, the @CBSNewsPoll finds. That could be an important measure to watch if that balance can change over the coming months.
GOP DIVIDED: The rank-and-file divide between those willing to have GOP members of congress work with @JoeBiden and those who aren’t. Half will consider Biden the legitimate president after he’s sworn in, more than considered him the legitimate winner just after the election.
