By Straight Arrow News
Americans come together for the Fourth of July this week to celebrate our nation’s independence and unity. Yet polls show the majority of us believe America is more polarized than ever.
The latest installment of America Speaks, hosted by political analyst and pollster Dr. Frank Luntz, takes a closer look at what average Americans think of our country today. Have we lost our ability to find any common ground on the big issues that divide us, such as climate change, immigration, and equality? Can we argue that the United States is the greatest country on earth anymore? What caused us to lose trust in our government, the news media, our institutions — and each other?
During the 36-minute episode, people from around the country discuss whether the “United” States of America can live up to its name once again.
