Summary

With the election behind us, are we on a path to unity or stuck in the “Great Divide”? A Harris Poll found 77% of adults stressed about the nation's future. Tonight, we explore this divide—from secession talks to family conflicts—and how we can work to bridge it. Now that we have the Presidential election behind us… Do you think we are on a path to unity OR are we stuck in the “Great Divide”? The Harris Poll conducted a survey for the American Psychological Association right before the election. Of the adults they questioned, 77% said that the future of our nation was a significant source of stress in their lives. That’s a lot of stress! Tonight, a look at the “great divide” that we ALL need to work on closing – from those who want their states to secede to those who struggle with family conflict.
