(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.”

Three Reasons a Coffee Gift Set From This Christian Company Is Perfect for Christmas
When you’re searching for a Christmas gift that’s meaningful, useful, and rooted in faith, you don’t want to settle for anything generic. This season is filled with noise — mass-produced products, last-minute picks, and trends that fade as quickly as they appear. But one gift stands apart because it blends genuine quality with a message that matters: a coffee gift set from Promised Grounds Coffee.
This small Christian-owned company has become a favorite among believers who want to support faith-driven businesses while giving friends and family something they’ll actually enjoy. Here are three reasons a Promised Grounds Coffee gift set may be the most thoughtful and impactful present you give this year.
1. It’s Truly Delicious Coffee
Too many “gift-worthy” coffees look beautiful in the package but disappoint when the cup is poured. Promised Grounds takes the opposite approach — exceptional taste first, thoughtful presentation second.
Their beans are sourced with care, roasted in small batches, and crafted to bring out a rich, smooth flavor profile that appeals to both casual drinkers and true coffee lovers. Whether someone enjoys bold, dark roasts or lighter, more delicate blends, every sip reflects quality that stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the biggest specialty brands.
Simply put: this coffee is good. Really good. Some say it’s absolutely fantastic. If you want a gift that won’t be re-gifted, ignored, or shoved in a cabinet, this is it.
2. It Spreads the Word While Serving a Real Purpose
There are many Christian gifts that are meaningful… but not exactly practical. There are also useful gifts that have nothing to do with faith. Promised Grounds Coffee bridges both worlds beautifully.
Each gift set delivers an encouraging, faith-centered message through its packaging and presentation — a simple but powerful reminder of God’s goodness during the Christmas season. The cups are especially popular and serve as a daily reminder of the blessings from our Lord. At the same time, the product itself is something people will actually use and appreciate every single day.
It’s a gift that uplifts the spirit and fills the mug. A gift that points loved ones toward Scripture while still being part of the normal rhythm of life. And in a culture that increasingly pushes faith to the margins, giving a gift that quietly but confidently honors Christ can make a deeper impact than you might expect.
3. It’s Affordable, Valuable, and Elegantly Presented
Many people want to give something meaningful without breaking their Christmas budget. Promised Grounds Coffee strikes that perfect balance — the sets look and feel premium, but the price remains accessible.
The packaging is classy, clean, and gift-ready, making it ideal for:
- Family members of all ages
- Co-workers or employees
- Church friends or small-group leaders
- Hosts, neighbors, and last-minute gift needs
It’s the kind of gift that feels more expensive than it is — and more thoughtful than most of what you’ll find on store shelves.
The Perfect Blend of Faith, Flavor, and Christmas Cheer
A coffee gift set from Promised Grounds Coffee checks every box: a gift that tastes amazing, conveys your faith, supports a Christian business, and brings daily enjoyment to the person who receives it. In a season when so many gifts are forgotten, this one stands out for all the right reasons.
If you want a Christmas present that reflects your values and delivers genuine joy, Promised Grounds Coffee is the perfect place to start.
