This a single pole or 3 way switch?

That would be my assumption but are we sure? Although the OP did not post what the switch controls, it could be two switch legs. Do not assume the two wires are the hot unless checked with a meter.

You guys are so electrically smart...sometimes you complicate the easy stuff...lol
Assuming its a toggle switch by the size, the easy way to tell if its a 3 way switch or not is to look for ON and OFF embossed on the toggle. Don't even need to remove it.
Of course I know you all can immediately tell by looking at the back.
