August 2, 2019: Twenty-two percent (22%) of voters say that most (or all) of the time, they’re afraid to let co-workers, friends, or neighbors know their views. A ScottRasmussen.com national survey found that another 25% say they have such fear some of the time.^[1]

Additionally, 27% believe they have been discriminated against because of their political views. That includes 39% of those who strongly approve of President Trump and 22% of those who strongly disapprove.

Younger voters are far more likely than their elders to think they have been discriminated against for political views. Among senior citizens, just 13% believe it’s happened to them. However, among voters under 35, the number is three times as high: 39%.
