Americans Still Hold Shared Values Despite Divisions

“Despite the country’s deep political polarization, most Americans share many core beliefs about what it means to be an American, according to a new poll,” the AP reports.

“The poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that about 9 in 10 U.S. adults say the right to vote, the right to equal protection under the law and the right to privacy are extremely important or very important to the United States’ identity as a nation. The survey also found that 84% feel the same way about the freedom of religion.”
