Most Americans believe that efforts to redraw U.S. House of Representatives districts to maximize partisan gains, like those underway in Texas and California, are bad for democracy, a new Reuters/Ipsos poll found.

More than half of respondents ¡ª 57% ¡ª said they feared that American democracy itself was in danger, a view held by 8 in 10 Democrats and 4 in 10 in U.S. President Donald Trump¡¯s Republican Party.

The six-day survey of 4,446 U.S. adults, which closed on Monday, showed deep unease with the growing political divisions in Washington ¡ª where Republicans control both chambers of Congress ¡ª and state capitals.
