(WND News Center)—Millions and millions of Americans believe that a civil war, within the next 10 years, is very likely.
Some may be surprised by the result of a new polling, but given the fact that the divisions in America are deep and wide and, apparently in many cases, intractable, perhaps they shouldn’t.
The results come from a YouGov polling which showed actually about 40 million Americans, 12%, say the conflict is very likely.
Millions and millions more, another 28% or about another 90 million or so, say it is somewhat likely to occur.
It is Newsweek that outlined the results showing a huge surge in those concerns just since the last polling in December.
Of course, in that time frame, President Donald Trump took office for his second term, and Democrats all across America have attacked, with hundreds of lawsuits. Democrat judges have attacked with dozens of nationwide injunctions. Leftists have attacked by joining law firms that are suing Trump. And more.
The polling, from June 16, 2025, took responses from 2,275 U.S. adults.
Newsweek called it “an uptick” in concerns from the last such polling, in December with responses from 1,582, where 9% said a civil war is very likely and 21% somewhat likely.
The change from 30% expressing such concerns to 40% actually means that another 30 or 35 million Americans have joined in that view in that short time frame.
The Newsweek report explained, “The U.S. has seen an uptick in political polarization, as well as growing political unrest in recent weeks, such as the assassination of Minnesota politician Melissa Hortman and protests over President Donald Trump’s immigration policies in Los Angeles turning violent earlier in June.
California Governor Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, said Trump wants ‘civil war on the streets of America’ during their dispute about how to quell the violence in L.A., though Trump has pushed back on that statement.”
The poll showed only 22% said a civil war is not very likely, while 17% said it is not likely at all.
Newsweek confirmed, “Democrats were more likely to view a civil war as likely than Republicans. Seventeen percent of Democrats said civil war is very likely, and 31 percent said it is somewhat likely. Among Republicans, 7 percent viewed a civil war as very likely and 25 percent as somewhat likely, according to YouGov.”
“To me, evidence of ‘civil conflict’ continues to increase, especially in terms of the increase in political violence,” explained Nina Silber, a history professor in Boston, in an interview with Newsweek. “And while acts of violence occur on both sides of the political divide, I am particularly worried about political officials who have been stoking and encouraging political violence, who make it an almost accepted part of our culture.”
Actually, President Trump has said, referring to Newsom, “I don’t want a civil war. Civil war would happen if you left it to people like him.”

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
