Nearly three-quarters of Americans said the United States is as divided as it was during the Vietnam War according to a new poll.

Results from the survey released by The Washington Post and the University of Maryland indicate:

70 percent said divisions within the U.S. are at least as big as they were during the Vietnam War.

77 percent of U.S. adults aged 65 and older said the current divisions stateside are at least as big as they were during Vietnam, with 65 percent of adults aged 18-29 saying the same.

36 percent said they are not proud with how democracy works in the U.S., a sharp increase from 1996 (16 percent), 2002 (9 percent), 2004 (10 percent), and 2014 (18 percent) in similar polls.

64 percent said the political system in the U.S. is dysfunctional.

71 percent said problems with American politics have reached a dangerous low point.

Another recent poll found that the political divide in the U.S. also exists within each of the main political parties.
