Americans say founders would give grim 250th report card: poll
Data: Gallup; Chart: Avery Lotz/AxiosBack in 2001, most Americans thought the Founding Fathers would be pleased with how our country turned out.Today, fewer than one in five agree, according to a recent poll.Why it matters: Few things unite Americans in its 250th year like their shared conviction — across party, age, race and income — that the country has let its founders down.By the numbers: More than three in four Americans (77%) say the signers of the Declaration of Independence would be disappointed by the United States we see today, the highest level of disappointment Gallup has ever seen.Just 19% say the founders would be pleased, down from 27% in 2013.Between the lines: Republicans (25%) are more likely than Democrats (13%) and Independents (21%) to say the founding fathers would be pleased. But in the 2026 and 2013 readings, the partisan gap flipped depending on who holds the White House: In 2013, with former President Obama in office, 42% of Democrats thought the founders would give a thumbs up, vs. just 12% of Republicans.Both the 2013 and 2026 sentiments were drearier than they were in 2003 and earlier, across political ideologies.Yes, but: On the sunnier side, Americans still largely think the country has succeeded at least a fair amount in achieving the ideals for which it was founded.20% say the country has succeeded a great deal, while 49% say it's progressed a fair amount.But that's still a smaller share than when Gallup first asked the question in 1976, the nation's bicentennial. Then, 77% said the country had succeeded a fair amount or great deal. After 9/11, an even greater share, 84%, said the same in 2002.The youngest age group polled (those 18 to 34) were less likely (8%) than their oldest peers (24%) to say the country has succeeded a great deal.The bottom line: At the turn of the century, Americans were far more likely than they are in the nation's semiquincentennial to say the founders would applaud the country their vision grew into. But despite that discontent at this point in time, Americans still see progress when reflecting on the founders' ideals. Methodology: Results are based on telephone interviews conducted by ReconMR May 1-17 with a random sample of 1,001 adults living in all 50 U.S. states and D.C. The margin of sampling error is ±4 percentage points at the 95% confidence level.Go deeper: America approaches 250 with its best days in doubt

“Bolshevik Revolution”: Republicans React to NY Democrats’ Primary
State and national Republican groups have developed a new midterm strategy after the left’s big wins in New York City on Tuesday: fearmongering about communism and the death of the nuclear family. (Oh, wait, that’s actually not a new strategy at all.)The chair of the National Republican Congressional Committee, Representative Richard Hudson, reportedly compared the primary wins to “a Bolshevik revolution” on Wednesday, in a meeting with GOP House members. The NRCC also made a slightly cringy X post referring to the progressive winners as “America-hating Socialists.”A few MAGA House members spoke out individually against the election results, including Randy Fine and Anna Paulina Luna of Florida.“What is happening in New York tonight should scare every American,” Fine, who is no stranger to promoting hateful rhetoric, said. “The Democrat Party there no longer seeks to make America prosper. It seeks to destroy it.”The fearmongering comes after New York’s democratic socialist mayor, Zohran Mamdani, proved his November victory was no fluke on Tuesday. The three progressives Mamdani endorsed all won their primaries, knocking off establishment Dems and sometimes other progressives.Former City Comptroller Brad Lander knocked off incumbent Representative Dan Goldman in New York’s 10th district; Democratic socialist Claire Valdez, an artist and assemblywoman, defeated Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso in the 7th; and in possibly the biggest upset of the night, Darializa Avila Chevalier, a little-known democratic socialist, bested incumbent Representative Adriano Espaillat in the 13th.“New York Democrats just elected three socialists in primaries,” raged the New York state GOP on X. “Their party has been taken over by radicals who support Islamic terrorism and want to dismantle the nuclear family.”Centrist Democrats also felt a sense of foreboding on Wednesday upon seeing the success of leftists.“Republicans will very quickly seek to elevate, as they always do, the most radical voices in the Democratic Party,” Howard Wolfson, a Democratic strategist and adviser to former NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg, told The New York Times. “And after tonight, they will have more radical Democrats to choose from.”Representative Greg Meeks, who chairs the Queens Democratic Party, was a bit more diplomatic. “It was a tough night,” he said.
