Gallup has just released a tranche of data on the crime issue which highlight the potential salience of the issue in 2024.
Sixty-three percent of the public now say the crime problem in the nation is extremely or very serious.
Over three-quarters say there's more crime in the country today than there was a year ago.
Along with similar results from their 2022 and 2020 surveys, these views on rising crime are the highest since 1993 in the Gallup's series.
In terms of crime in respondents' local areas, 55 percent say there's more crime today than a year ago.
Along with levels measured last year, Americans are more worried about the crimes of having their car stolen or broken into, being attacked while driving your car, getting mugged, and getting murdered than they have been since 2000 when Gallup started measuring these fears.
Consistent with these pessimistic views, voters are not happy with the job the Democrats have been doing on crime.
