Exclusive poll: are you proud to be an American?

With the 250th anniversary of America's founding approaching next year, the majority of Americans are happy to applaud their country – with 63 percent saying that yes, the birthday of the United States is a moment to celebrate, a new poll from Cygnal released exclusively to The Spectator reveals. But unfortunately for those who would like such an event to be bipartisan and unifying, that majority is overwhelmingly driven by Republicans, 89 percent of whom say America's anniversary is a moment of triumph. On the other side of the aisle, only 37 percent of Democrats say there's something to celebrate at 250 years, with 58 percent of Democrats saying "no, there's not much to celebrate" or "no, there's nothing" to celebrate.
