Democrats and Republicans generally agreed on whether Russia posed a threat to the U.S. until the Trump era. Now 63% of Democrats see Russia as a threat, compared to 38% of Republicans.

This is one of the bigger signs of trouble for President Trump that we've seen in a poll: Of the final debate's seven topics, Joe Biden won or tied on all seven when viewers in a massive Axios-SurveyMonkey sample were asked who they trusted more to handle the issue.
