Most Americans think founders would be disappointed in today’s U.S.

Most Americans believe the signers of the Declaration of Independence would be disappointed with the U.S. today, according to Gallup polling. A survey by The Associated Press-NORC Center shows about 40% of adults feel 'proud' and 30% feel 'excited' about the 250th anniversary. Political and age demographics show Republicans and older adults are more likely to express pride, while events like Trump's National Mall fair and the US Mint's commemorative quarter are part of the celebrations.
