Do you find yourself worrying about the US election, which is less than two weeks away? The polls remain tight and it is widely agreed to be a knife-edge race.

It’s also been a battering American electoral season for many voters amid accusations of fascism on the rise, two attempted assassinations of former US president Donald Trump and Democrats swapping candidates from Joe Biden to Kamala Harris.

But with the end now in sight – even if some experts are predicting a fraught post-election fight – many Americans are feeling anxious.

We’d like to find out more from people about what they are finding stressful and how they are navigating those feelings. What do you find concerning about the election and its potential aftermath and why? How are you coping?
