You hear that they are both proud, but they also have thoughts and feelings.

I feel like I'm going to be thinking about the guy saying, like, yes, I'm proud, but I'm also slightly embarrassed.

Like, that was just like, yeah, I know that encapsulates everything.

so many voters who you talk to right now.

I want to ask about another poll result which caught my eye here, which is that 83% of Americans in this most recent survey said that America as a country has moved away from its founding principles.

And this one caught my eye

For the same reason, any poll result that has more than 80 percent of people saying anything catches my eye.

Just having that level of agreement on something like this was like I was like, whoa, that's something to pay attention to.

But I don't really know exactly what to make of it.

Do you guys have thoughts?

I mean, my overriding thought is Americans agree the country is divided.

Americans agree that the system isn't working for everybody.

Americans disagree about who's to blame.

Yeah.

I mean, listening to you just talking about that poll question, Miles, that phrase founding principles, if you were to ask the Democrats and the Republicans who answered that question, what are America's founding principles or what are the most important ones?

You would probably get very, very different answers.

That's just an educated guess here.

But I mean, you think about...

You think about like the preamble to the Constitution, right, which says in it, provide for the common defense and promote the general welfare.

Well, right off the top of my head, I would bet that a right wing person would be more likely to cite common defense as a founding principle.
