Who flies the American flag for holidays — and who never flies one, according to an AP-NORC poll

A new AP-NORC poll reveals that Republicans, older adults, and white Americans are more likely to fly the American flag, while younger Democrats and Black adults are less likely to do so. The survey highlights divisions in how Americans view the flag, with some seeing it as a symbol of opportunity and others as exclusion. Jerry Esters and Yvonne Pistochini, both Black, represent contrasting perspectives on the flag's meaning.
