Democrats are less likely than in the past to see conditions as positive, while Republicans are upbeat, as is typical for them with a GOP president.
Larger majorities than in 2011 say Republicans (69%) and Democrats (60%) go too far in using inflammatory language to criticize their opponents.
Americans as a whole favor addressing the root causes of crime over boosting law enforcement, and they oppose using military force in U.S. cities, but partisans' views strongly differ.
While 56% of Americans favor stricter gun laws in general and 52% back an assault weapons ban, a near-record-low 20% support banning handguns.
