CV NEWS FEED // A poll released on the Fourth of July found that Republicans are more than two times more likely than Democrats to say they are “very patriotic.”
In the YouGov poll, 62% of Republican respondents indicated they were “very patriotic,” and an additional 33% said they were “somewhat” patriotic.
Therefore, a combined 95% of Republicans polled expressed some degree of patriotism. Only three percent said they were “not very patriotic,” and two percent said they were “not patriotic.”
However, Democratic respondents gave drastically different answers.
Twenty-eight percent of Democrats said they were “very patriotic,” less than half of the percentage of Republicans who answered the same. Meanwhile, 43% of Democrats polled identified as “somewhat” patriotic.
Democrats were six times more likely than Republicans to answer the patriotism question negatively.
A combined 30% of Democrats said they were either “not very patriotic” (18%) or “not patriotic” (12%).
These percentages on the Democratic side add up to 101%, implying that they were likely rounded to the nearest percentage point.
One Republican X (formerly Twitter) user replied to the poll expressing frustration that not every Republican respondent answered the patriotism question affirmatively.
“The 5% should leave our party!!” he wrote.
Another user wrote, “Libs are historically incredibly unhappy people.”
As CatholicVote reported in April, “[s]tudies show that being left-wing tends to make people less happy, according to author and journalist Ian Leslie.”
CatholicVote’s report cited an article that stated: “in its more extreme form, the liberal mindset is unhealthy and self-harming.”
