AllSides Report on the National Roundtable on Political Violence

The following report details the findings of a national event on political violence held on November 6, 2025. A total of 637 participants—diverse in political ideology, age and geography—held 90 minute conversations in small groups designed to provide civil, thoughtful understanding across differences. Using a mixed-methods approach that combined large-scale, small group dialogue with pre- and post-event surveys, this study captured how Americans understand political violence, what they believe drives it, and how they think it can be prevented.

The findings built on recent national surveys showing concern about political violence.
