Pew Research: 44% Not proud to be an American

Featured Replies

It said I was a steadfast conservative, which doesn't surprise me. There were a couple of questions I really didn't want to answer because I thought the two options were too narrow.

 

I skipped 4 or 5 that I thought were too narrow. I'm supposedly business conservative according to their quiz.:idunno:

Steadfast conservative, but towards the left of it when I saw the graph.

 

Personally I consider myself a moderate and a man without a party.

steadfast conservative, but didnt like the questions at all. need choices 3 and 4 not just 1 and 2 in several of those , ESP questions 4 and 5 I think it was . The poll seemed aimed at getting polarizing results .

I am the right axis of the chart. However, many of the questions are very leading and poorly worded. I hate polls that use the word "immigrants" with no qualifier. I strongly support legal immigration, provided that we are getting the best and brightest from around the world. I strongly oppose illegal invaders and support self-deportation through strict enforcement of our laws and a secure border. Polls that do not make that distinction are worthless, IMO. I assumed that the survey author meant illegal aliens and used "immigrants" as a politically correct euphemism and answered accordingly.

 

I will be much more proud to be an American when the outlaws running our government are finally sent packing. I am ashamed of Obama, Biden, Pelosi, Boehner, Reid, and McConnell, along with scores of other Washington politicians. We can do so much better.

Steadfast Conservative but the questions seemed to be a little harsh as to the positions they presented.

Generally young, well-educated and financially comfortable, the*Next Generation Left*have very liberal attitudes on many issues, including homosexuality, abortion, the environment and foreign policy. While overall supportive of an activist government, most are wary of expanding the social safety net. Most also have relatively positive views of Wall Street’s impact on the economy. While most affiliate with the Democratic Party or lean Democratic, few consider themselves strong Democrats.*Compare groups on key issues.

OK, I watched the video.

 

Do you often feel proud to be an American?

 

That one word can slant answers. Makes it sound like 'do you wake every day and sing the Star Spangled Banner'. I bet the numbers would be more expected if the actual question was 'Do you feel proud to be an American?'

Not trying to come across as a smart-aleck. But should we be in the business of administering IQ tests at the border?

 

And I agree with the pervading sentiment that this was very much a "black and white with no shades of gray" test. Not gonna produce too many middle-of-the-road results.

Lets ship the 44% to N. Korea for a year, then they can retake the survey!

Prob a better way to say it is " could we please stop accepting everyone " with no questions ask . There is a limit on how many immigrants we can take per year , that number is being far far exceeded . We as a nation need to let the tens of millions become legal citizens somehow or at least documented before accepting 100,00 undocumented children .

Me, too. Imagine that.

If you EVER have a question that the US is the best country to live in, then live abroad and need help. Not visit or study abroad, LIVE abroad.

*Sigh* I had such high hopes for you... :cool:
