MORE ON: POLLS To celebrate or not: Americans weigh risks for July 4 Inflation concerns soar with 85% ‘somewhat concerned’ about rising costs: poll DeSantis edges out Trump in 2024 straw poll, Tucker Carlson rules out bid NYC mayoral campaigns have vastly different estimates of voter turnout A new poll shows that 69 percent of voters believe America is the greatest country to live in — but that sentiment has fallen 15 percentage points in the past decade.
In 2011, 84 percent of respondents said the US was the greatest, and 83 percent echoed that sentiment in 2015, a Fox News poll found.
This year, 26 percent of voters said the US is not the best country to live in — an increase of 12 percentage points since 2015.
The survey, released as the country prepares to celebrate its independence this Sunday, found that voters under age 45 had the biggest decline in positive views since 2015, recording a drop of 21 percentage points.

Media propaganda has been driving down approval among gullible younger people.
I would have to agree that it’s not as good as it used to be.
America sucks. But it sucks a whole lot less than everywhere else. Ted Nugent
The other 30+/- can start packing.
Considering how often we are lectured, that America is racist/sexist/homophobic and all the rest, and how America has failed to live up to its highest ideals, we see all that nagging propaganda has an effect on some people.
The other 30% have never been out of the country and have not seen some of the hellholes out there. They would kiss the ground when the got back after visiting those places..

Obamajugend, Mmmmmm mmmmmm mmmmmm
The natural next question is, "Then which country is?"
I may criticize from time to time, but I wholeheartedly approve of this post. AMERICA RULES. ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTE!
What country do the 30% think is better?
Without the answer to that follow up question, you’re just getting griping.
My tagline pretty much says how I feel about America.
Yes, exactly. Mumbai, Rio, so so many places in East Africa.
And not even the most die-hard lefty will say "Cuba".
Wakanda.
My sister-in-law’s husband, now deceased, was in the Marines during the Korean war. He saw Plenty of hell holes!
When they were relieved to return to the USA, at every stop the ship made, the long route from Asia-Africa-Europe, he refused to get off the ship until it reached the good old USA!
He had his fill of foreign lands.
Propaganda only works on people that actually interact with it. News media doesn’t exactly get the ratings that it used to.
My dad was in the USAF and I never lived in the USA for more than 6 months at a time until I was 16. There was no sweeter taste than the taste of the America we had always heard about but had rarely seen.
I think it would be a worthwhile investment to find the 26% and finance a year abroad in Cuba, Venezuela, China or North Korea.
